Logs
Sadly the 200 metres tall chimney has been demolished today, so this Trig no longer exists.
Found on our Wollongong caching holiday. You have no idea how many times we saw this chimney, it was a main icon everywhere we went. Up close though - wow, that is pretty cool. Unforunately there were workers closer to GZ so we just took a photo nearby from where they were working. Quick snap and off we went. TFTC GCA!

GCA 617 - 6416. Another Trig find during our Shellharbour / Wollongong tour. Hard to miss this one !
Took a long distance and a close up shot.

I had seen this one quite often but from Wollongong so not quite close enough to log really!
Today was the day and a Trig raid in Port Kembla finally happened. This is quite an amazing structure, lets hope it will be retained and even better allow people to get up there if possible I was told there was an internal stairway, but who knows!
Still well worth a good look.

There has been lots of talk about wether this passive trig would stay or go! At the miment it looks like it is gonna stay ads a landmark and if possible turned into a topurist atraction!
