Found on the way out to Canoelands today to do some geocaching. Some of the better "silo art" going on here as well as a fairly tidy looking trig. This find wasn't planned today it was spotted by accident driving past, even though we have driven past many times before ...never noticed a trig on the tank before. TFTC.

At least we got the trig, after a DNF on the multi here.... Sad

I guess you could call this a true drive-by? Lol.

Had driven passed this trig on the way to a GC cache and really had no time to stop when we drove passed again on the way back.

What do you do when the lights turn red?.....you take a photo from the car!

Two big caching days in a row to find some specific caches in the Hornsby and North Sydney area. Great weather and reasonable traffic made for an excellent day! This is one of the trigs picked up along the way.

With a visit to Chatswood today, we grabbed a few caches and trigs along the way. Noticed this trig at the lights and the geoWife grabbed a photo before we moved on. Love the artwork on the tank.

One more trig 're-found' from the trig hunting days of the 1980s when I lived at Wahroonga.
Stopped by on Sunday, 31/7/16 @ 1605 to take another photo of the reservoir and trig.
Couldn't quite get a 'selfie', but got a 'close-up' of the trig at least.

heading to a job this morning I noticed this on the side of the road so quickly took a photo before the lights changed.

Another nice easy find, parked over the road and didn't even need to get out of the car to get the shot. Had actually driven past here about 3 weekends ago without even noticing the TP Embarassed

Easily visible on the smaller resevour from most angles. The paint is peeling a bit and it looks like it's Sydney Water's camo-green, rather than black.

A quick pic on the way past. TFTT!

Spotted on the way to an event at Galston.

Yes it is highly visible on all sides, isn't it? Came up to this trig and parked on the side street. Stayed in the car and took the photos, because I can Laughing Another one trigged Exclamation

Found this trig while on my trip around Sydney today. I used to work up here at Asquith in my younger years.

Stopped for a drink's break and noticed this lurking next to the servo. Nice and easy.

We was out huntin for gnomes. Saw a trig and thought that might be a GCA trig. Took the photos and found it was published.

Hey Yurt what do you know about the milk factory that used to be located nearby.

Nice quick, park and grab a photo!

There are actually two similar water towers here, side by side, on the edge of Hornsby Heights, and it took me a few minutes to find the right one. The trig is visible from Galston Road.
 
28-Jul-10
I pointed out on the GCA forums that this one had been a locationless GC.com cache in the past but hadn't appeared on the GCA list. Was going to log it myself (live within 5km) but beaten to it by rogerw3! A rainy day so a drive-by.
There's plenty more of these in the north on water storages. Watch this space.

Found on the way to visit a friend. The reservoir is at the intersection of the Old pacific Highway and Galston Road.
