This a rooftop pillar with a beacon.
A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar, resembling a navigation beacon. It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself.
Trig points are generally located at the top of hills or points of prominence in the landscape. Many provide unique views and challenges, with some being difficult to get to.
These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.
To log a find on the Geocaching Australia website, you will need to include a picture of the trig point, along with your GPS receiver and (preferably) yourself. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point.
Please respect local laws and regulations when searching for trig points. If you believe that a trig point is located on private property or in a dangerous location, you may archive the cache, by clicking on Log this Cache and place an "Archived" log on the Geocaching Australia website.
If you feel that you can add to the description of this trig point or adjust the difficulty / terrain ratings, please feel free to edit this cache and amend the information suitably. Vandalism of the cache description or other information will result in your account being terminated.

I had an appointment today in Goulburn, so this was an opportunity to add some geocaching to the day, despite the rain. Decrypter accompanied me. We stopped here for a GC cache and then remembered there was a trig too, so photographed that as well. TFTC.

Each time we passed through Goulburn we said we would get to this trig next visit. This morning it actually happened.
While Mr Y'stassies sat in Mecca's putting today's batting order together MrsY'stassie made her way across the mown area behind Maccas then along the slippery vehicle track still covered with frost and finally up the steeper section to the top and the trig. She decided against crossing the fence and took the photo from 5m.

Sophoutloud and I stayed the night in Goulburn on our way to Canberra and thought it was mandatory to do a little sight seeing and trig nabbing before leaving town, managed to grab 3 before leaving. we were able to drive from the back of maccas almost all the way up the hill to this one. watch out for the dead roos

Out on a adventure with Outdoornut22 spent a night in the Wonderfull Goldburn and now we’re on a hunt to get to all the high points in tha area! Got a bit confused when we drove past and didn’t see a trig but did see a giant M?? We got there eventually after a bit of a walk.

Staying in the caravan park just down the hill.
If I had a good camera with a decent telephoto lens, I could have taken a photo of the trig from there, but I haven't so walked up the hill.

We drove all the way to the trig by 4x4. Another trig point to our finds. TFTC
Found with the geofamily. We took the shot from the highway, then looked to see how to approach from the McDonalds, but it did not look promising

GCA 1724. Found on a windy day with minniek.
Managed to drive fairly close leaving a 60m walk in the wind up to the trig. Piccies taken and then we headed back to the car and the warmth.

Son no. 3 was playing soccer nearby so we (fitzy and I) headed over here at half time to see if how to make our way to the trig. Turns out you can actually drive also the whole way. Was fun trying to make our way to the trig due to the strong winds but make it we did. I was surprised to actually see a trig.....I had it in my head that we were just finding a marker. Gorgeous views up here that is for sure. Pity about humans yet again destroying the environment but dumping rubbish.

Parked in the dirt car park next to McDonalds and walked up an old overgrown road to the trig. Passed the massive McDonalds sign near the top of the hill. A good view from the top of the passing traffic. Trig is in good condition.
A great day of caching in the highlands and Goulburn. Had lots of puzzles solved in the preparation and was determined to do multi's or any unusual caches as well. Ended up with only 3 dnf for the day and lots of funny and good finds, thanks for putting out all the caches.

Got the long way via the Sloane street. Still entered the patch near the rest stop.
I stopped in at the Goulburn rest stop with my daughter Bex and her dog Chix today. Beaut time to take the dog for a wander and grab this trig. Beautiful day to be on the road and walking up hills. Cool to get a photo of the Golden Arches too. TFTT

#GA1038 - 09:00; Out on a day run to Goulburn with Sol de lune to collect a few of the newer caches in the area, plus some of the local trigs. Parked the geomobile in a popular carpark and headed up the hill. Managed to acquire the obligatory caching injury from some barbed wire on the way up, but nothing life threatening. Once at the top of the hill, grabbed some snaps and admired the views before heading back down to continue our travels. TFTT Geocaching Australia

A day trip up the highway to Goulburn with LuckyL10n to grab a few of the newer caches, as well as a couple of GCA's. Used the car park of the nearby big company and took the walk to GZ. Once up the top, the trig was an easy find. Great views of the highway from up here....well worth the shot walk.

Saw this one come up as a Find recently & thought "I didn't know you were there!" So today after work I made the find. Checking the location on Google Earth revealed a much easier route to the top from near the hockey fields, so made my ascent there, on a very mild late winter arvo.
Seems this trig is indeed demonised, as I too had to make the climb twice! Back to the top to retrieve my glasses...

On a Goulburn trig and train spotting trip with rogerw3 ... a short drive along a motorway side track, till a boggy hole, thence a walk and a steep damp slippery climb up to the trig, made twice, at the insistence of the trig demon, rogerw3. (That the 'mushroom lost his camera on the first descent may have had something to do with the second ascent.)
A simple trig in good condition, with mast and vane intact, set upon a concrete square. A solidly set SSM is nearby. A great view to the south-east across the motorway from the trig. Worth the effort, indeed.

Found today with whitemushroom on our train spotting trip to Goulburn. In fact we had to climb the hill twice as some unnamed person dropped their camera on the way down! All ended well when the item was recovered.
