Having travelled north to hunt down some GC Challenge caches, I am making my way back south using trig stations as my guide. Thanks for publishing them Geocaching Australia.
This is a beautiful area and so trig rich.

Out trigging with Sophoutloud today on a mission to take over Penrith. It was a beautiful warm day and we were surprised how many of these trigs had survived the urban expansion of Penrith. They were all found in varying conditions from as perfect as the day they were built to pretty broken and covered in graffiti. This one was as the name suggests, quite pleasant there is a reserve here and the trig has been looked after but someone had smashed the mast off

Looking at the map we thought this might be gone due to subdivisions. But no very happy to find this in reasonable condition and in a beautiful Park!! Yay

Out caching with.... GeoDirk! After waking up too early today he was doomed to go caching with me today. After 14 puzzles, 4 trigpoints, 4 traditionals and one multi, we had a slushee. It was a win!
The leftovers of the trigpoint were not impressive, but the view was!

I was taken for a tour of the area and my guides stopped here for me to photograph this trig.

After coming down to Sydney for a class reunion I came out little to the west, and scored this as a Waymark, and as a trig - Bonus. Sad that it has been graffitied, the mounting plate has been melted, and the name plate dug out! Uggh
The 'track' has been remulched with chipped storm debris.

One of three happy snaps whilst passing through on the way home. It was a pleasant day, the view of the valley were pleasant, it was pleasant to find the trig but the graffiti on the trig was not pleasant.

Pleasant by name....just a pity about someone spray painting it.
Nice views back over the valley.

Another old graffitied and damaged plinth hidden in suburban bush. This one looks like someone has tried to dissolve the stand on top. See photo.

An easy find, when found, but a roundabout circling to nail down in the drizzle ... and slush at GZ. Likely apleasant location, but not the day to see.
Pleasant by name, not so pleasant by nature. Lots of broken bourbon and coke bottles. Pity as the view is surprisingly good for such a small hill.
Stumbled across this one while heading to a GC cache nearby.
There is lots of broken glass and graffiti around which is a shame.

Discovered this trig while on the way to see a movie. By the picture, I seem to have conjured this one out of thin air. Thanks
Trig 3 for the afternoon on the way home from working in Richmond this morning. Easy acess from the right road, but half the roads on the GPSr map did not exist in this area, making it a a little harder to get there.
Trig number 4 of 7 for today's 23km walk from Penrith via Cranebrook and Castlereagh then back to Penrith station.
Another easy find in the little park, this shows signs of heavy party usage by the local kids. Some graffiti and the name plaque is gone but it would be hard to make the concrete pedestal disappear!
Now onto the next one.

Finished off today's caching with a trig, an easy to find one just a short walk off Soling Crescent. This one has seen better days, what with the missing vanes & plaque, and the graffitti, but it is in a nice location with a great view.
A very forlorn find, vandalised and well off the road, but with the vestiges of the great view that once made this position a good one, many years ago. No disk and no plaque here. Only the pedestal and its top plate survive.

Nice easy find once I realised I was not looking for a water tower!?!
It was hot here today!

Easy find, very short walk to from the closest street, an okay view to from this trig.
