Description

A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ.

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: Perth SW - Mullaloo SE 25K 1:25K

GOLA reference: Scarborough Tower

Was out with all the family chasing down GCA trig points identified by Chwiliwr from the 1:25K Perth SW - Mullaloo SE topographical map and whilst out we also collected some moveables that were nearby to one of them.

Thanks for the cache.

Chwiliwr and the better half drove me an mum around the suburbs to take images of things. That tower is big.

Thanks for the cache and another find.

Wasn't sure that we got the single upright pipe that is the trig structure on the top of the tower but have attached an image that possibly shows it.

After taking the image we helped a local find his dogs that had got out of his yard.
