Description
Official Code: TS7289R, Name: Young Silo
A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ.
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.
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.
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.

A long weekend brings with it a weekend of camping and caching. fitzy_1965 and I decided to do a loop from Goulburn out to Naranderra, Griffith, Condoblin and back home so I could pick up the last few counties out that way.
Today was heading from Condoblin to home via Parkes, Forbes and Young. Quick park and snap.

Today I was traveling with Luckyl10n, Albida and Sol de Lune on a loop trip from Canberra to Temora and home again through Young. It was a fun and successful day finding nearly every cache we had targeted. This was one of them so TFTC Geocaching Australia

Only had time to grab 3 caches as we travelled through Young today.
This one was easily spotted as we approached but the sun was not in a very good spot for our photo.
Thanks.

In our travels today we made a short visit to Young where we located this trig point on the silos. Two photos have been added to the Gallery. Thanks for the cache.
With a day off and time to spare before the next thing I have on, I decided on doing the caching trail that goes: Temora, Young, Murringo, Boorowa, Yass and back home through Harden. 
This trail and picking up some new thongs from ‘Rivers’ lead to a great day out. I started the day with the new tree climb in Young which has been on the 
list for quite some time and then picked up some trigpoints which has been on my to-do-list for quite some time. After this I went to ‘Rivers’ and then headed out to my next stop which was the mystery cache in Murringo. Next were the caches in Boorowa, Yass for lunch and then head home via Harden. I would like to thank all CO’s for placing the caches I found and for the enjoyment they brought me today.
Today’s totals:
13 GC Finds
3 GCA Finds
1 DNF
1 Not Attempted
My second of three trig-points today. TFTTP

We stopped in Young for food for the last part of our trip home. Great big silo!!!! Geodad has found this one, so it is up to me to get the photo.
When we had a 200km gap in our two GPS downloads this was the cache it pointed to for hours. It was satisfying to put a DONE on Young Silo. 
One of the many trigs we have found in our travels - required pic has been added to the gallery.
Many thanks Geocaching Australia for publishing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience.

Started at Bathurst bright and early for a bit of a trip down south, have a few trigs picked up to go after, got a relaxing trip as have to be back home on Saturday see how far I can go & how many trigs I can get photos of on the trip. This was the second stop on the second day was at a silo in Young and took the required photo once I found a spot to shoot from. Thanks for the trig Geocaching Australia. Hopefully there will be a few I can get closer on the trip. Around my way don't see many silos with trigs.

The black discs atop the silo were easily spotted as we drove through town.

On a return from tenting at Temora for a few days ...
No problem sighting this trig, very prominent upon the skyline on a drive through Young ... a quick roadside park and photo ... Excellent vanes, with the rows of 'holes' clearly defined with a sky background.

Found 1:53pm with LuckyL10n. I was out on a caching run with LuckyL10n and his partner and friend. We were doing a large loop to grab GC and GCA caches and trigs. The trig was fairly easy to spot, although t think I've never seen one on a silo before. Grabbed a photo, we kidded with the ladies that we had to climb the steps to get up to the trig for the photo only to set them straight a little later.

#GA690 - 13:50; I had sown the seed yesterday with the geohoney that we should go for a Sunday drive through the local countryside and perhaps collect a cache or two along the way. An itinerary was then hastily arranged and the geohoney's friend and MrDamage confirmed for the tour. We had picked up a few caches by the time we reached Young, including the trig near Boorowa, which saw MrD and I get a little damp. It was nice to reach Young for a couple of easy drive bys, starting with this one. TFTC Geocaching Australia

Grabbed a quick pick while in the area. No prizes for my photography for this one. Nice trig though.
In Young today and I spotted this trig on the silo by the station. Probably seen it on previous visits but then I wasn't looking for trigs. Looks in good condition.

I want to be forever young
An oldy but a goody !!
Meanwhile outside the silos I was looking up to see if I could see a trig point.
Yes!! I could
Close enough for a find I reckon

Found on our way from Cootamundra to Cowra. A quick detour to take the required photo. TFTC
For the number of times I have been in Young since trigs started, I have no idea how I have not seen this one before. Better late then never. Thanks

WanderingAus wandered by on day 113 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, making our way from Darwin towards Perth via Mount Isa, Townsville, Emerald, Goondiwindi, Gunnedah and Wentworth.
After setting up the caravan at the Young Caravan Park and having the obligatory cup of tea we headed in to town to stock up on supplies. The WanderingMrs spotted the Big W store so we took a visit to that first, and as I walked back to the car I spotted the trig on top of the silo - TomTom had failed to alert me to it's presence because I accidentally turned off the sound.
We crossed the road to Woolworths, and I pulled out the big gun camera with it's 18 times optical zoom and took the requisite photo, not a lot different to my usual 5 times zoom camera. Then I zoomed in a little and took a closeup shot.
