I drove to the gate marked private, took the photograph, then backed up. TFTC.

Mr Beetle accessed this site many times before he retired and said we would be safe to go right in but I preferred to take our photo from the gate and play it safe. Thanks.

Despite living quite close, we haven't been up this way for quite some time. the hardest part of this find was finding a gap between the trees to take the photo of the tower. Thanks for the cache.

This was one of the few we added to our caching trip as we were driving since we didnt want to be put off our main goal for the trip of cleaning up some long solved puzzles.

This trip North I found 52 caches covering 850kms

After finding a puzzle down the road a bit we couldn't ignore a trig point so close to us. With the sound of motor bikes echoing around us we took tge obligatory photos then took off for the beach for some more caching

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.

After finding 29 other caches and visiting with Sirius, I drove straight to GZ for this cache and took the required photographs to fulfil requirements as my last cache find for the day.
Passed a cyclist on the way up the tier but did not see him again on the way down. One other car was parked in the car park.

Sainted the cache at 1725hrs.

Would like to try the grapes grown here.

Have enjoyed some great walks around this knoll both personally and looking for caches.
Also enjoyed this drive back to the top - thanks for bringing me here again

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 even from the roads below.

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 top of a hill and 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:
Was able to do this easily.
