Stopped at the water reservoir to do an AL waypoint and figured there'd be a trig on top. Now I know why I had so much trouble spotting it.
Wow – this 1 is on the hard side to pick out – as noted in in cache description - only visible from one spot on Elizabeth Road – I gave it a red-hot go – thanks again

In the area caching today. Stopped by the shops to take a shot of the water tower the trig is on.

Quick drive by whist Pokémon hunting found this took a photo after winning a gym battle. TFTT
Not sure where the trig is up there. Someone wrote that only the base is left. Base? TFTC.

Found on a weekend trip to the Blue Mountains with Sol de Lune. It took a bit of time to find the base of the trig, but all in all, it was eventually spotted on the nearby street. TFTC GCA!

Quick Drive By Trig on the way to the Spring Caching in the Bluey's Event. Not much to say about a reservoir but I cant pass them by

Another one down and many more to go. I think the trig is gone on this. I walked everywherr and couldn't see it.
'Tis a narrow viewing point to capture this Trig ...

Very hard to see when the top is missing. A strange man was parked next to the water tank. He claimed his wife had lost her mobile phone in the area. I walked off and let him talk to Webby, while I searched for the trig. Spotted the base in the end. Quiet spot.
A tough trig to get a view of, and having no top on it made it harder. yes, best view seems to be from Elizabeth Road
Now that I've been here I see what the previous loggers mean, it is really hard to spot this one with the missing top. We went up & down Elizabeth St a few times & took pictures from a few locations. You can see a little better when you are there to what actually shows in the pictures.
Also saw a beautifully painted bus shelter just down the road, but people were in it waiting for a bus, and I thought it would a bit rude to take pictures while they were in there .

I arrived at the "Trig Station" and no matter how hard I looked and from which ever angle, there was no "Trig" to be seen.
After coming back home and reading a few of the previous logs, I now know I am not going mad!! Just the top part of the trig is missing!!
I did like the art work on the reservoir.

I was a bit concerned when I arrived at the reservoir because I'd forgotten that the upper part of the trig was gone, and that I was only looking for the base. I travelled right round the whole reservoir, searching from all sides. I enjoyed the 'urban art' painted around the bottom. Anyhow, I took lots of photos and the attached is one of my best. On the same trip down from Leura I logged the Emu Plains Reservoir as well, so it was a good day for trigs! I gave this one 'Three Thumbs Up' for the interesting artwork.

Found this Trig Station on the way to do some Geocaching. You can just see the Trig base to the right of the microwave dish.
