Description
Comleroy TS5636
Official name of this Trig Station as per NSW Department of Lands is: Comleroy.
Serial number is: TS5636.
Last inspected on: February 13, 1975.
Elevation is: 179 meters.
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.

headed out with Outdoornut22 to bag a few quick trigs on a very rainy day but we needed to get out of the house, this one was pretty good nicely kept trig that was super easy to park and walk up to
Rated: for Overall Experience
While it was bucketing down with rain today both myself and Sophoutloud needed a good excuse to get out of the house, we plotted some more urban trigs that were close to road ways so we didn't have to spend to much time out in the rain. found this one nice and easy it is still in great condition just missing the vane, one of the few we were able to get up close enough to touch today. There was also another concrete square on the ground next to which may be an older trig

Quick find after having to call the local police due to an escaped horse wandering around near the 'Butler's trigpoint. Onwards
After coming this way yesterday & completed some homework at home for a couple of multi and a Unknown or Mystery caches and today it was very hot again and unable to do yard jobs so came this way to complete some drive buys caches and trigs. this was the one of them.
Also, today I wanted to find this trig for the Journey or Destination - Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
1.Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
2.Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
3.Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
4.Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
5.Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.
A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills, Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache), Traditional, TrigPoint, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia, The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced, The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period, The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more), The geocache is one of the following types:, Moveable, Traditional, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.
So, A BIG thanks for the trig, I must say a very interesting one and the location of it.

This was a quick drive by trig on our way to Orange..... Samuel left the GPS in the car though....
I could see it as I approached GZ. parked by the road and a short walk up the slope. TFTT
Out with Team Merlin to collect this Trig

drove up this way and walked to the top a good view of the local area from there. Thanks for the trig
Also this has been painted and looks like the base of an old pipe trig. Can't see it mentioned anywhere for trigs in the area.

We came and found the log only plus the lid of a cache container for the GC cache, and also took the picture for this cache.
In a nicely maintained grassy knoll, and in pristine condition ... so good to see.

1610 Found this Trig Station (this time around) when on my way to the Lithgow Event coming from Taree. While others has found this trig on this listing before me I may try to claim a 'First to Find' 
Initially I had walked past this Tuesday morning 10/5/1983. Yep, that's right!
I had been dropped off by bus just down the road.
I was looking for access to the 'nearby' PGR8, or more correctly PGR-KH8 which is a Perfect Grid Reference, where the six numbers are all the same, so the grid reference just up the road, on private property is GR888888 (which obviously was in AusGeo66). I then walked cross country and down to the Grose river to find PGR-KH7 (GR777777), or if you were wanting to see were I went to go to S33 36.937 E150 36.296
Right in the River!
From there I found a very interesting RIDGE to ascend, and walk up to Faulconbridge.
I came back on Wednesday, 27/2/1985, stopping here for a photograph of the trig @0900. I was planning on placing a permanent logbook for PGR-KH8, but in the 2 years things had changed (maybe that was a precursor of geocaching?). I had already found North Richmond, Belmont, and Pound trig stations; continuing on to Scott, Tomah (North), Charles, Wynnes Rock, Bell, Piddington, Hat Hill, AND Hay trigs that same day. Maybe should have called myself NSWTRIGGER. I will adjust the cache description, as at this stage there is still a concrete pedestal in GOOD condition.
BTW I didn't realise there was a geocache right here, so wasn't looking.
Good memories tho' (as all those photos were tossed out over 15 years ago)!!!!!!

I found this cache while on the way up to my father's place. I'd previously found the cache here. The cache was just sitting on the ground, so I rehid it properly while I was there.
For once an easy trig! Quick stop and log.

Found together with pjmpjm and GazMag on a day-long Geocaching and trig hunting expedition in the Kurrajong/North Richmond/Windsor areas.
A nice easy find, between the 2 roads, shame the mast and vanes have gone, but the name plaque is still in place.

No mistaking this one. Found on the way home from a cold and wet bike rally (which I deserted). Great to find an old style trig again, rather than the water towere type:)
Picked up a nearby GC as well

We were heading along Comleroy Road to find some old guesthouses that the family ran back in the 1920s and 1930s and we saw this trig - didn't even have the gps on at the time and took a pic anyway. When we arrived home we checked and it was an existing trig cache.
Good views from here.

Our 9th trig of a hot day and our 300th GCA find!
This is something we would never have noticed before trig hunting but there it is. Pity the top is gone but there's the bonus GC cache at its base - didn't even have it in the GPSr but read it in pjmpjm's log so made an extra find.

No difficulty at all in finding this trig near Kurrajong, located up on a small hill right between two roads. The vanes making up the 'black disk' have disappeared, but the side name plaque is in place and the top plate is in good condition.
So, overall, this was a nice trig to find, although the lack of vanes was a disappointment.
Some glimpses of distant views remain and I took a few photos. Before the growth of more trees, this would have been a very panoramic spot.
And of course there's a GC cache right at its base . . .
'Three Thumbs Up' experience because of the latter.

Someone has decorated this trig for Christmas, it looks very festive all wrapped in tinsel. We stopped to find the GC cache located near this trig & thought we'd do a double & log the trig itself at the same time.
From this wonderful location you have uninterrupted views of the Hawkesbury!!
