I think I took my photo from about where most other finders have. TFTT

This is the closest I could get to the tower. Private property sign kind of stopped me.

While in the area collecting "Don Rail Bridge" i took the opportunity to snap a photo of this trig to log a find. TFTC

"Hello thanks for the cache.

Another distance trig

Found on Saturday 01 December 2018 at 1709"

Another good one for a wet day. Wind down the window and take the photograph, without the need to venture into the rain. TFTC.

Out and about collecting up geocaches - over 13000 steps and fourteen hours later I returned home. Another one I went past was this trig. Road sign said “ private road” so I didn’t go any further TFTC

Stopped quickly for this one while out getting a few other caches close by.

Spotted while trying another nearby cache. No problems grabbing the required photo.

Grabbed this photo from the spot where we stopped to grab GA10071. Could have got a real close up here as we know the property owners but we were in a bit of a hurry so didn't bother going right in.
Thanks.

While in the area recently we took the required photo. TFTT

This morning we made an early morning excursion to the Tamar valley to find three GC caches. On the way back home we stopped and photographed the 7AD radio tower to meet the requirements for this cache. Thanks geocaching Australia for the cache.

Found whilst killing time waiting for Spirit

Hi
Left home, Huonville, this morning in the dark; travelled as far as Ulverstone and returned in the dark - left at 0530hrs and returned home at 2200hrs.

Weather: Wet at Huonville at 0530hrs, raining to Oatlands and then fine weather on the North West Coast for the day until I left and got back to Oatlands where it was humming down. Rained on and off from there to Huonville.

Drove straight to GZ for this cache and took the required photographs to fulfil requirements.
Driving in, there was a scarecrow draped over a fence post which looked rather humanoid at first sight - bit eerie!

Was windy here this morning but always loved going to the Don when I lived in Devonport.

The farm up here always looked super good.

TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.



DISCUSSION:
A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ:
Located and photographed.

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:
No structure as described above, but the structure is high enough to be seen all around.

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:
Definitely located on the hill, views are good but not 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:
Suits its purpose as a Radio Tower and as such can be utilised as per the definition.

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. Long distance / telephoto type pictures are against the spirit of this cache. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point:
