As we arrived at this point and getting ready to hide the cache, a worker from the nearby roadworks stopped as well to fix a flat tyre.

Within 2 minutes, another 10 cars arrived with more of his work mates to help and hinder his efforts to change the tyre (it must have been knock off time). There goes the chance of a traditional cache.

So to log a find, post a photo of yourself with your GPSr under the interesting landmark at this point. Enjoy.

]]> Under a rock pandpp Didn't find it Second try for this sucker. Last was 18 months ago, possibly when it went on it's long walk.<br /> <br /> Sadly, today, the results were the same.<br /> <br /> Checked the hint, which certainly narrows the field of opportunity. With that in mind though, weren't able to turn it up. hebes Found My first cache find and with the help of my two daughers we found it. When I say 'we', I mean my 7 year old daughter found it first. Judging by the fun we had, this should be the 1st of many. The Farmers 5 Found Found the newly replaced micro on xmas day on travels between relatives farms and xmas meals.About 2m out from the original location but still a nice easy find that shouldnt go missing this time.Had cleaned the car out the day before including all pens and after failing with a rock to sign the log sheet finally came up with the last option of lady farmers pink lipstick.Letters are a bit big ,but at least its there.Well done to Forest Hills number one cacher .

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.

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.

The original collection of trig points has been sourced from Geoscience Australia and may contain inaccuracies.

Please respect local laws and regulations when searching for trig points. If you believe that a trig point is located on private property 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 or adjust the difficulty / terrain ratings, please feel free to edit this cache and amend the information suitably. Vandalism of the cache description or other information will result in your account being terminated.
 

Had been advised that there was a Trig near the Vistas cache & sure enough they both share the same co-ords. A lovely setting with a few locals wondering why all these people were walking up the rise (OZ Mega weekend at least).

Was a bit confused by the Survey Marker until I read the cache page. Cheers from Sydney! albida33 Found Perth 10.1. After seeing the notes on logs since my Mega DNF, I came for another visit and sure enough at the extra co-ords, there was the cache. Thanks.<br /> <br /> TNLN<br /> <br /> Albida pandpp Found Second time we've tried this, nearly 2nd time DNF.<br /> <br /> Last time the DNF was because the cache was sleeping with the fishes.<br /> <br /> This time it was because the posted GZ co-ords lead straight to a survey marker, as many before us have commented. Sadly, the cache is not even remotely close.<br /> <br /> Any chance the list co-ords can be updated, not just added to the log?<br /> <br /> Also, the said Sistema container listed as the cache is the OLD cache container. This needs updating as well. tigersden Found A nice easy find on our way home from the mega event.<br /> TNLNSL<br /> TFTC Geocaching Australia Other The cache or at least its replacement has been found so no need to archive. solomonfamily Didn't find it Found the survey marker but not the cache - interesting spot Lucy & Roo Found Luckily I hadn't read all the previous logs, or I might not have bothered stopping. But I did, and had almost given up the search at my indicated GZ (which was right at the survery marker) when I decided to look a little further afield. The cache is in good condition, though it has been wet at some stage, and hidden in the usual fashion. It is certainly just within the +/- 4m error of my GPSr. Maybe the radio mast contributes to interference in the signal? Anyhow, thanks for the cache Rescue-201<br /> <br /> PS. I didn't tune in, as I was travelling solo having left the rest of the team in Wagga Wagga, and was enjoying the solitude and silence - I don't always like or agree with their choice of music!<br /> <br /> PPS.

I had no luck with it but Greenish arrived and almost immediately put her hand on it. TFTC Greenish Found Bwahaha!! Piglet and I were off cat hunting for at least 10 minutes, when we went to find out what was taking Cheesy pig so long to find the cache. After eventually finding him in the dark, he mentioned that he didn't want to look 'there' because it was a smelly bush. Well yes it was, but it didn't deter me from immediately reaching out and finding the cache. <img src="http://ideology.geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> Love the cache name.

Thanks for encouraging me to have a closer look at some of the memorials in the gardens! albida33 Found The bush was very smelly, and not a nice smelly, but it eventually came to light. Albida The Britto's Found FOund this cache, log was soaked and unable to be used, replaced with new paper but not sure how long this will last. The Spindoctors Found Abandoned the search the previous night as there were a few locals making noise in the park. The next morning I found the cache quickly. Unfortunately the container is not water proof and moisture has made the log next to useless. Needs replacing. psychokat Found This should have been a quick find but we had to wait for some muggles to finish taking pictures. Once they moved the cache was in hand and it time to move on.

There is no fee to enter, but if you just happen to be around at a meal time, then you might as well stop in for a snack & a cache. There is no requirement to purchase anything either, but no matter what time of day you are there, a cool drink or a coffee is a welcome break from the weather, while you log the cache. I can inform you that is one of the elite places in town with a well respected reputation.

This one is just a little bit different. To find the cache you must enter and see if you can see the secret hiding place. Don't look too hard, it's not there. You have to show one of the staff your GPSr and ask for the hidden cache (be careful, as they may be confused - you'll see why when you get there) but it should cause no difficulty. Just persist if needed and the owner is well aware and has given permission for this method of access.

Take a seat, make a swap & a log note, without a worry that you may be seen by muggles, even write in it how many you have found in your career & how many today. Then return the cache to the staff for safe keeping. (they will probably read it after you leave).
]]> MtnLioness Found One of the most awesome places and caches ever!!<br /> Loved it!! Lucy & Roo Found Lucy Junior and I planned to do this cache for morning tea, so after a hectic (for us) morning's caching we stopped off, ordered coffee, hot chocolate, a ham and cheese croissant to share and a cache. How exciting, as we sat in the front window and read the logs and perused the contents of this cache in Cache at our leisure, without fear of being muggled. I can not really understand the reluctance of some to find GCA caches, and they certainly miss out big time with this one! Thanks Roostaman for the cache, and directing us to some excellent coffee. bbayjohn Found My first GCA cache. What an appropiate place to start, A Cache in Cache. Bit like GCA in a GC. And another first this weekend was the Megga Event at Wagga. Would of like to had more time to sit and grab lunch if we wernt so busy trying to complete all the Megga Games. <br /> <br /> So now all i have to do is work out how to use this site to get more out of it. To be honest I found this with some help of other cachers and thought I was looking for the other nearby micro. It became obvious with the size of the cache I had discovered another. <br /> <br /> Thanks to all the friendly cachers, Was great to catch up with you<br /> <br /> GEOTRECAZ Found Met up with Team Pathfinder and DicksonTwo for coffee here this morning, and made an easy find after requesting coffee and cache. Swapped a Rocky Glen Grommets pathtag. Thanks. Citrus tart and rocky road were delicious. Dicksontwo Found Mega Event over and resting up in Beach C P, came for coffee with Geotrecaz and Team Pathfinder. Call us naive, but we thought the name of the cafe was only a coincidence! Doh! Good coffee and citrus tart plus a cache, gee, this is good. Must be heaven for Mr Coffee and Coffee and Cache. Took a Crane2 tag which was not already in our small collection, left a 'Dicksontwo at Oz Mega One' tag. mtbikeroz Found Clever cache, found and enjoyed a nice lunch too. (At OZ MEGA WAGGA WAGGA EVENT) crane2 Found We tried to do this on Easter Monday, but the Cache was closed so we had brekky in "The Secret Hiding Place" on Tuesday before the big trip home after the Mega. Great concept and thanks to Mrs Ciril for alerting us to this caching experience. La Kedi Found Found this big one right after finding the little one outside, and had a delicious milkshake and cranberry slice while there. The lass behind the counter looked blank but the girl doing all the work knoew what we were after and cache was soon signed. TFTC ='.'= The Marble Found Finally home from Oz Mega and time to log. The staff must have spent more time than ever before meeting geocachers this week. We rewarded their efforts by enjoying some morning tea there as well as signing the log. TFTC steptoe Note too busy on the saturday of the Oz Mega to stop as we drove past doing the Megopoly questions, and left it till Sunday arvo - but after they shut for the day.<br /> Ah well, I wont call it a DNF, just a "next itme I'll get it" Team Wibble Found Grabbed the cache, loved the location, but no food for us. This cache, being one of few places open on Easter Sunday morning, was packed to the gills. 30 minute wait on food and drinks. That's 30 minutes of caching time reduced, so we signed the cache and moved on. Damo. Found Nice one! Busy little cafe/bar. Looks like they have had quite a lot of cacher business over the weekend. Got some from us as we stopped for a coffee and a bite to eat. Thanks. tigersden Found Thanks for this one.<br /> We were going to get something for lunch but a 40min wait on a sandwich was going to cut into quality caching time.<br /> So just asked for what we wanted and we were out and back on the road in 5 minutes.<br /> TNLNSL<br /> TFTC Slider & Smurf Found A nice spot for a cup of coffee or two and a cache. Found with Juzmac and the other twenty or so cachers during our attempt at the Community Chest game for OZ MEGA.

With limited lunchtime choices available in Wagga on Easter Sunday we thought we were in luck here and there's a cache to find as well. <br /> <br /> We found the cache easily enough but the timing of our visit was too late for the culinary choices to satisfy the picky Mrs F or e-facit <img src='http://forum.geocaching.com.au/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt='Wink'>. Still a cache in the hand is worth 2 sandwiches in the bush <br /> <br /> TNLN <br /> <br /> Cheers Roostaman Facitman Found Found by Facitman and the Facit-Family plus m.s.n. in the company of Rhinogeo at the OZ Mega Wagga Wagga event at 13:51<br /> It's truly an event when you have a sistema handed to you as you approach GZ! We arrived at this location hoping to partake in some food. Unfortunately it didn't quiet suit a few members of our party but we got a find for our trouble!<br /> TNLN<br /> Thanks Rostaman GhostGums Found I quite like these caches where you ask for them over the counter. It turned out to be an appropriate cache for the mega event weekend.<br /> <br /> We liked the secret hiding spot.<br /> <br /> TFTC red tag Found Stopped for ome brunch and added a cache to the order<br /> Thanks Roostaman for the fun. food and find Cheesy pigs Found A very easy find lol Friendly helpful staff and a nicely filled container. TNLN thanks roostaman winterdragon Found Now that was a fun cache! We had visions of ordering a coffee, sandwich and cache at the counter, but settled for just a plain cache when we found out how long the wait time on orders was.<br /> <br /> TNLN - Thanks for a unique cache Roostaman! Team Ladava Found Not sure if you describe our visit as 'found' but certainly we sampled their fare and borrowed the 'smaller cache' from a table of teams so we could sign the log while we waited.<br /> I guess I was a tad disappointed that they cashed in on the additional patronage brought in by Oz Mega with a 20% surcharge when other enterprises had sponsored the event but I guess the staff were on penalty rates.<br /> It surely is one of the most unique caches ever created.<br /> Well done Greg<br /> Ian & Sandra<br /> Team Ladava<br /> 3daygrowth Found Certainly a very welcome break in a perfect day of caching. Just a Trifle Found Managed to stop by shortly before closing time so could sign the log, but too late to enjoy the goods. TFTC Roostaman Greenish Found Now this one was unique! After doing some night caching and promising ourselves we'd have to stop in here, we finally managed it this morning, while the place was packed! We noticed the secret hiding place first, but Cheesy pig said it wouldn't be in there <img src='http://forum.geocaching.com.au/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt='Wink'><br /> <br /> The staff were helpful, but we had to sign the log at the counter as there was no room to sit down. Noticed a few other cachers lounging about the place though! Really great idea for a cache, thank you! M.S.N. Found found with facit family and rhinogeo <img src="http://ideology.geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> tftc Avagomob Found Found on a busy Sunday while doing the walk down the main street while doing the competetion for the Mega Event.<br /> TFTC Roostaman Ksix Found Found with a group of Qld geocachers while we were all attending the Oz Mega Wagga Wagga Event.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the hunt TeamGeoPlesk<br /> Cheers <br /> Ksix<br /> "Eat... Sleep... Geocache..." Ksix Found Found with a group of Qld geocachers while we were all attending the Oz Mega Wagga Wagga Event.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the hunt Roostaman<br /> Cheers <br /> Ksix<br /> "Eat... Sleep... Geocache..." Crystal Warrior Found Stopped by for breakfast and a cache. Pretty cool shonkylogic Found Sitting here waiting for lunch I thought I might as well get the computer out and log the cache that landed on my table!!! Apty Found Love it! what a unique cache. tftc kaisho53 Found Found it (12:31) today while buying refreshments for further caching activity...<br /> <br /> Largest cache enclosure I've ever seen... <img src="http://ideology.geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><br /> <br /> TNLNSL<br /> <br /> Thnaks to Tealby for the cache youngoldfella Found Found at lunch time today. Clever. TFTC walenators Found A great idea, but the staff were a little under the pump today, probably under staffed with all us geocachers in town. Found during OZ MEGA Event...TFTH....SL...TNLN Moo Found Found with Little Red Shoes - our first GCA cache.<br /> Had driven past the larger cache earlier the previous day. Not sure if it was Winglen or Sol de Lune who mentioned the availability of the cache in the cache around the campfire that night, but thought it was as good an excuse as any to try the menu...<br /> Left pathtags and took a $1 coin.<br /> SL. TFTC<br /> Team RooBok Found Popped in and asked for this one after grabbing the micro outside. What a novel way to log a cache.<br /> <br /> Thanks Roostaman darth trader Found this one had me scratching my head. I thought the co-ords were out because of the shop awnings so I crossed the road and then looked at the GPS again and looked to where the arrow was pointing...and WHALLA!<br /> <br /> I had to actually communicate with someone(not my strong suite) and the cache was quickly in hand. TFTC roosta mundoo Found Nice cache location and the owner was very obliging even though they were busy and flat-out. I had commented on this name when we arrived in Wagga the night before, little realising at the time that someone had been smart and placed a cache here. Thank you for the experience. Coffee and Cache Found We tried to find a place to site down for lunch, but it was too crowded, so I just asked one of the staff for the cache and she kindly obliged. Signed the log and passed the cache to a table of geocachers who didn't know about the cache.<br /> <br /> Thanks Roostaman - Great idea. gardengorilla Found This is the only GCA cache we found during the Oz Mega. We rocked up just as the shop was closing and the counter girl didn't know what we were talking about so she got her boss to give the cache to me. I signed the log and went outside to find 'A Piece of Cache'. There were cachers already hard at work and they asked if I had found the GCA cache. I said yes but they are closing..so you'd better hurry. I was sure the girls in the store would let these cachers interrupt their closing as they were not too hard to look at <img src="http://ideology.geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><br /> thanks for the cache! richlink Found Found while in town for Mega Oz. Visited the nearby cafe for a fabulous latte as a reward! Team Robins Found Nice place to have coffee Fuddley Found Quick find this morning just after finding the other one outside, staff were very helpful and interested in what we we all about. TheBlueFox Found Signed the log while waiting for our food order to arrive. Thanks! goblindust Found And great food, too!! Everlasting Found Excellent one - Accompanied with Varuna, Alchemy2 and Varuna went there this morning, Varuna and Alchemy2 have a coffee... Then we sign the log book. Thanks Roostaman. Varuna Found With the girls, we went in to have coffee and signed the log book in the cache. It was a brillian idea and perfect one especially with the name of buiness titled Cache shop. Loved the idea. Thanks for the cache. Alchemy2 Found Had coffee here with Crank1, Varuna and Everlasting. Love this cache place. Loved the idea. Thanks for the cache. Quasar Found I was working at the council offices and dropped in for lunch here. It was nice to sign the log in comfort while waiting for my meal! Caias Found A refreshing stop in an afternoon of caching. =) albida33 Found I did the small one ages ago, so today was the time to have some breakfast and peruse the big one. Not a blink from the attendant and it was all done. Albida. The Britto's Found A quick find this morning. Geo-kid rates the iced chocolates. richary Found Walking past while on the phone to Farmers 5 and he told me about it as I hadn't yet looked at the local ones. Asked the girl at the counter who had to go and get some help from another girl who knew where it was. They didn't seem to quite understand the concept! Grabbed the unactivated geocoin not realising it wasn't activated so may place in that state somewhere else. Thanks. The Britto's Note Area closed until 11th of Jan 2010. Will have to try again after that. The Spindoctors Found Having found the smaller cache the night before, we decided to tackle this one for breakfast. A quick chat with the cache owner regarding the upcoming Mega Event (listen to <a href="http://www.geotalkpodcast.com">Geotalk Episode 55</a> in Jan 2010) was followed by a drive down the main street and parking close by.<br /> <br /> Nay had the breakfast bruschetta and an apple juice, Zac had the Turkish bread toast and I had Eggs Benedict with a long black. This was the best tasting cache we've ever done. <br /> <br /> The girl behind the counter gave us the cache and we filled in the log. Removed the US geocoin and placed an unactivated <a href="http://www.geocachingnsw.asn.au">Geocaching NSW</a> geocoin for the next person to take.<br /> <br /> Look forward to being back in town in April. Gigglygecko Clan Found Popped in with Fitfairy to have a light snack and a cache - this is fantastic - it's the first time we have ever been able to get INSIDE a cache (along with the forty odd other people who were there at the same time). Had a few cuppas and OJ's and made a few swaps - couple of one dollar coins for the small book of Rosetti poetry and a geocoin in for taking a swaggie out. The people sitting nearest us were looking rather interested when the waitress brought out the cache and presented it to us - all good fun though and we would highly recommend this cache to everyone. TFTC <img src="http://ideology.geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> Gigglygecko Clan Other Hmmm...where/what is the password? Have picked up from the largest cache ever and will drop into a movable cache in Canberra soon. Happy travels <img src="http://ideology.geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> jkcourtz Other Sorry to hang on to him for so long as it was my first Swaggie and finding a GCA cache large enough to drop him off was a bit of a problem. So he is safe and well at the largest cache store in Australia. I am sure he will be picked up and moved on soon. jkcourtz Found Found 11:50am snack time, so ordered coffee, cake and cache. Sat and read the previous visitors entries. This will be a busy location next Easter. Also does dinners and is licensed so maybe a cleansing ale while having a cache day debrief may be in order. Thanks for bringing me to this top spot. Left Swaggie. NIFARES Found This one confused us for a bit, until the penny dropped! Yummy cache!!! baby&Mrs gopher Found Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1100.Asked the lady muggle if the coffee was on Roostaman because it's close to his birthday.No so decided to cash in on the cache.A raised eyebrow and the cache was in hand.TNSL and enjoyed the thought that this shout could have been on the hider. Tnx Roostaman The Bush Pigs Found First cache for the day. Came with a Cappachino,Raison toast, grilled banana and icecream...<br /> Took Geocoin EUYRQA-0835<br /> Left Sight Adjustment Tool.<br /> <br /> Haven't been able to work out how to log the coin yet?? libbus88 Found Found at 0900, thought i would grap a coffee and cache on my way to uni. <br /> TN L- EU geocoin retrieved from "Up The Creek Rev 2" in Albion Park, NSW. feathertop Found I must admit that this one was a real novel experience.<br /> While I was logging another cache Alan came out of the shop bearing gifts.<br /> We later lunched here and had a great sandwich.<br /> Thanks Alansee Found A great idea for a cache and one I enjoyed. They actually weren't open when we got there but were kind enough to give me the box. Thanks for something really novel. The Farmers 5 Found Head farmers ventured in and ordered a lunchtime meal and coffees and a cache around 1.00p.m. today.Fifteen minutes later the coffees,meals and cache were presented to table 28.There is no log book in there,so one of the swaps is a note pad.We opened the pad and logged the find.Thanks to Roostaman for the indoor cache on a chilly day outdoors.TNLN. Bewilderbeest Found I arrived in Wagga this morning, needing a coffee and a snack. This cache was the perfect opportunity to do that and pick up a cache at the same time.<br /> <br /> I placed my GPS on the counter, ordered my mornos and asked for the cache. The person serving looked a little confused, but one of the other staff overhead my request and produced the goods.<br /> <br /> The log book is missing from the container, so I did not record my visit in the cache itself.<br /> <br /> Thanks Roostaman for something a bit different in a caching experience. BigON Found My first ever GA cache and this was very different. Found with Murph. Thankfully we were at least the second team to drop in today so they knew where the box was.<br /> TNLN TFTC Tealby Found We had a few moments to kill before the event today, so decided on a quick detour here to snag a couple of caches & a cup of coffee. This was a lot of fun - particularly with the odd look we got when asked to hand over the cache - we suggest you don't use the American pronunciation for this one! TFTC. mtrax Found stopped in with the Canberra team for a quick bite before the Invasion event and as I had finished first and we where late I was sent so to the event.. after all I setup event... while the rest of the crew finished there coffees <img src="http://ideology.geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> winglen Found On our way to MTrax's Wagga Invasion event cache, with a few minutes to spare so we dropped in here for a coffee and cache. What a fun idea, thanks!! murf Found Found @ 1147 during the Wagga Invasion, in the company of BigON.<br /> After meeting up with the other invaders, we decided to go and check out Wagga's largest cache.<br /> An easy find once inside... <img src="http://ideology.geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><br /> Cheers, Murf.<br /> Liz and Bruce Found Couldn't resist doing this cache in conjunction with the GC cache nearby. Thanks Roosterman Roostaman Note Dropped in to make sure it was still OK. The cache was found, checked & returned safely.<br /> pandpp Note Drove past the other day, but decided it was too hot.<br /> <br /> Today we decided we'd do this, before grabbing some shopping & heading home.<br /> <br /> Plans of Mice & Men. <br /> <br /> The establishment is shut till 7/1/08.<br /> <br /> Hopefully we'll find time & inclination before we run off home next week some time. slowdad Found Good coffee nice cakes well worth the effort. First try didn't get the cache totally confused the first person, second person knew what it was but didn't know where it was or what it looked like. Luckily psychokat saw where they placed it and gave instructions. Mum said best one ever she even got out of the car this time.<br /> TFTC psychokat Found Planned to have a snack to finish an afternoon of caching. Unfortunately arrived in time for closing was able to get the cache and log it though. What a fantastic idea. I'm going to bring slowdad here and surprise him with this one.<br /> Took nothing left a bendy pencil. TFTC McPhan Found Great breakfast and an idea that I had been toying with. First ask but with renovations took a short while to find. McphanKid Found Found with McPhan Team Horizons Found Dropped in and got this the other day and forgot to log 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 center 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.

 

The original collection of trig points has been sourced from Geoscience Australia and may contain inaccuracies.

 

Please respect local laws and regulations when searching for trig points. If you believe that a trig point is located on private property 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 or adjust the difficulty / terrain ratings, please feel free to edit this cache and amend the information suitably. Vandalism of the cache description or other information will result in your account being terminated.

]]> cantanga Found I kinda feel bad logging this one as the photo is as close as possible but is still long distance. Oh well when in rome... The closest photo has the trig point somewhat obscured so I have one slightly further away with the trig much more obvious.
