Description
A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ
NOTE: This is a repurposed listing that had been previously archived as a duplicate. (Logs from Feb 2018 are now not relevant.)
As most of the Western Australian trig points no longer have a structure the locations identified as trig points on the various topographical maps have been used with data matching from the GOLA database where available.
Map: Fremantle NE 1:25K

Plate inside concrete plug with steel hatch surround without a steel plate on top. Is in middle of bush about 2m from track and also has no yellow pole indicator.

Logs
He had previously had a look at this one when doing the GC cache that was nearby but couldn't find the image taken at that time so had to come and get another one. Found that the plate is now missing from the steel surround structure. Nice views from up here.
Thanks for the cache.
I had previously had a look at this one when doing the GC cache that was nearby but couldn't find the image taken at that time so had to come and get another one. Even though I roughly knew where it was the pole that used to be there indicating where the trig point was is now gone and the bushes are a bit bigger now so had to make a search of it. Found that the plate is now missing from the steel surround structure. Nice views from up here as always.
Thanks for the cache.
