one of several trigs we found whilst exploring the area Rated: for Overall Experience
We parked in front of the original police station and wandered down the street looking for a good vantage point. As is often the case with these it was much easier to see from down the road than up close.
Out exercising in LGA during lockdown, grabbed a coffee nearby.

On the road from Coffs to Byron today, we've taken the 'back-road' through Grafton/Casino and Lismore, mainly to grab a bag of trigs, and a few caches thrown in too.... this was tricky, we crossed the road, and could see it pretty easily then.

How are you supposed to get this one with only a phone camera, wasn't happening for me.
This took ages to find. I had to go to the pub on the river that is being renovated and walk down the street alongside it until the CORS became visible. Thanx to LuckyLion for his photo, otherwise I would have just settled for a shot of the front of the building...and there is no thrill in that. Trust me...I am guilty!

This one was tricky - it was on the last side of the building that we checked. The area was very quiet though, as it was just after 6am when we called by.
#GA2698 - 14:45; Day four of the 2018 Oz GeoMuster mission with Sol de lune. After leaving the Mega yesterday afternoon and caching our way to Taree where we spent the night at a local caravan park, the plan for today was to cache our way north past Port Macquarie, then through Kempsey, Macksville, Urunga, Coffs Harbour, Grafton, Casino, Lismore and into Ballina in preparation for some caching around Byron and the Tweed before setting sail south again for home. Although not part of the original itinerary, I was able to collect a few more caches in Taree, which Sdl had picked up on previous visits. After a few stops along the way we took another detour through Grafton and along the Gwydir Highway for yet another testline. After that it was back into the town for a few more snaps. This one was a little difficult to locate, but Sdl finally spotted it and the snaps were duly taken. TFTT Geocaching Australia

Day 4 of a trek along the NSW coast to Tweed Heads after attending the Morisset event with LuckyL10n. Another day with lots of trigs grabbed...along with the odd traditional or two.
No problem with the find here and the required photo was soon snapped.
Thanks for another trig (testline).....

I arrived here at late dusk and made quick photographs before the light faded further. TFTC.
Walked around the building as closely as we could get and couldn't see your normal CORS trig. Thought we were on to it on one side but it was a drain pipe. Suspect this one might be in the centre of the roof where you can't see it or perhaps it is the white pipe in our photo to the left of the antennas.
Our photo is taken from just outside the police station yard. Thanks.

Travelling north with my son who was not going to stop for me so I quickly snapped this when we drove by.
There is a multi story police station over the location of GZ. There is a park nearby and nice views of the Clarence River. The survey marker is possibly in the undercover police carpark beneath the building but there is no public access to the area.
