An easy walk out to the trig after parking the car at the gate. Soon arrived at GZ and had the required photo taken.

I was on the way back from finding the GC #8 Rock Hoppers cache, so quickly stopped for a break at this Trig Point. TFTT
Walked in from Hornsby this morning and grabbed a photo. Logged this years ago but don't seem to have uploaded a photo. So here it is. Only 30 minutes to walk from here to the Rosemead Road trackhead.
Picked up this sad looking thing on our way to Rock Hopper. No plate or vanes. Just plain sad, really.

"Found" this trig a while back when I did #8 Rock Hopper (before I was doing GA caches) so made sure when I came back this time I would get the appropriate photos required. Thanks for the trig

As I had come down to Sydney this weekend for a class reunion (just 'up the road') I thought that as I had already found a cache (or two) for the day, to keep the geostreak going, that I would get a couple more trigs since daylight saving finishing this morning had given me an 'extra hour', and I didn't want to get there too early.
Easily found, and photographed - no muggles, and I don't think there was any movables out here today.

Bit hard to miss this one. Walked straight past it on the way to Rock Hopper.

I found this trig on my way to #8 The Rock Hopper and took a quick snap in the rain.

On my way to #8 Rock Hopper for my 2900 GC cache, I had to stop and take a photo.
After grabbing the GC cache at the start of the fire trail I continued up here for a quick and easy find. Didn't realise this was the start of the trail to the old #8 Rock Hopper down the hill so I will have to return sometime for that.
Spotted this trig on the way to do some rock hopping!

Out on a Dural frog drop run and took the opportunity to photograph the local trigs. A nice liitle bushwalk as a bonus with this one.

Quick and easy find on the walk out to a GC cache.
Love these old obelisk type trigs

While walking to Rest-A-While-Longer cache we stopped for a pic of the damaged Trig. Was a really easy find. Expected it to be stuck in the bush somewhere, but there it was out in the open. Took the pics and continued walking.

I have walked, ridden and run along this fire trail many times over the years. This evening we finally took a camera and logged the old trig. Lovely spot on a balmy evening
A lovely evening for a walk along the fire trail. I always love the gum tree on this track corner too.
I've walked by this spot hundreds of times over the past 37 years! Today I investigated it much more closely. Entry to fire trail is easy from the end of Quarry Road in Dural and you can walk right up to the partly destroyed trigpoint. There's absolutely no view any longer from the site. Trees have grown up all around. An interesting historic 'monument' I guess . . .

Stopped by on the way to "Rest-a-While Longer" from "#8 The Rock Hopper", quite a climb along the walking track, but an easier way is to drive there!

We stopped by this one on the way to Rest-a-while Longer. Noted that it had been vandalised then. Of course this was before this trig was published but we don't plan on going back there again just for this log!
