Description

Koobah is located on private property. Though a bit of a distance away, it can clearly be seen from Nundle Road.

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

 

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 centre 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. 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.

Please respect local laws and regulations when searching for trig points. If you believe that a trig point is located on private property (without permission to access the trig being given) 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,and how to best access it, or adjust the difficulty / terrain ratings, please feel free to edit this cache and amend the information suitably.

Koobah near Nundle (as opposed to auto-corrects's Poobah near Bundle) Rolling Eyes appears to be on private property with no road access that we could see. This trig would get a stunning view over Nundle and the hills around. As our photo is a long shot we won't be claiming FTF, just pointing out it's there and can be seen from a public road.
