Out doing some Easter Saturday group caching around northern Sydney. After grabbing lunch in Rouse Hill, we stopped off here on the way to some more caches in Kenthurst. This one was easy to spot. Many thanks for the listing.

In the area today doing the Macquarie Towns AL and spotted a few trigs nearby on my GA geo-map. Photo taken as required and will be uploaded when I'm back home and able to do so.

headed out with Outdoornut22 to bag a few quick trigs on a very rainy day but we needed to get out of the house. real nice one close to the road, we were able to walk pretty close to it.

While it was bucketing down with rain today both myself and Sophoutloud needed a good excuse to get out of the house, we plotted some more urban trigs that were close to road ways so we didn't have to spend to much time out in the rain. easy find as it is nice and close to the road, and is well kept. you can get right up close to it.

While I had found the nearby geocache over 4 years ago, that was at night time, so I'm back to get a better photo and log the Trig

Found this Trig on our way home with Team Merlin.

Heading back home using the back roads from an afternoon caching with JJCC. We had previously found the nearby cache...but that was pre-knowledge of trigs, hence our visit today.

Tucked up against a barbed-wire fence and somewhat encroached upon at the back with wild undergrowth this weathered trig still stands proud with mast, vanes and a shiny name plate.

Second stop on the way to Kenthurst. A quick photo shoot and on my way again

I came here months ago for the nearby letterbox cache. It's good to see one of these up close.

I did the nearby letterbox cache and then remembered GCA has trig caches. Thanks for another find.

I did the letterbox cache as well and thought I would add this to my small trig collection. Nice shiny plate too.

I came thru this area to grab a few caches, and found there were a few trigs to grab as well - so of course I had to snap and log.
ANNOYINGLY, I dod not have the letterbox cache in the GPS for some reason, and thus missed logging it.

I did the letterbox cache & thought I ought to take the opportunity to break my trig duck.

GCA 431 - 4794. Grabbed this Trig while doing the nearby Letterbox Hybrid.

I came past to do the letterbox trig cache, and totally fizzed that is is also a Trig as it stated in the name...DOH So I got out took some photos, and then realised it was the Mason Trig. Nice one 2 for 1 within 35 metres.

Found this trig on a tour through the Hills area. This was a two for one deal with a GC letterbox trig nearby.

Easy find with Geoteen and his friend on a late afternoon caching session.
What a fantastic trig point.

Last Trig for the day, a very successfully outing thanks to pjmpjm and his Geoburu 2. A drive by find, just on the other side of the fence, you can touch it, except don't snag your shirt on the barb wire like I did!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice little trig, close to the road. Much better than those ones stuck on water tanks that you can only glimpse from a distance.

Team Lego Men and I were enjoying a drive in the country on a lovely autumn Sunday when we arrived at this trig. It's a quiet and peaceful spot, very relaxing away from the people and shops and cars and noise.

Found while doing a new GC cache as part of the "Third Annual Hills Geocaching Event". Thanks.

With sevabo for the day. nice for the drive the car and spotted the trig. Thanks.

Ah our preferred type of cache after all the water tank shots! This one is in good nick like 'Rose' at Glenorie and 'Hamley' at Berowra. Everything where it should be.
Saw the GPSr said the coords were about 27 metres off but if you can't find this one without a GPS you might need more help.
Wish there were more of these about but they seem to have been removed. Note that every plaque I've seen on this type of trig has been dated 1973 or 1974.

We ducked off the Windsor Rd and grabbed this one while we were in the area. Nice to see one on the ground!?!

When I couldn't see this trigpoint on the Google Maps street view, despite know that it was supposed to be located less than 10 metres from the road, I got a bit worried. However, when I arrived at GZ in the GeoBuru this morning, there it was -- right beside the road! I would say it's only 5 metres or so from the sealed surface of Nelson Road.

It's actually located near the three-way intersection of Nelson Road, Mason Road and Old Pitt Town Road -- just behind an ordinary farm-style barbed wire fence. You can't quite touch it over the fence, but you can easily inspect it close-up and photograph it.

Compared to the dilapidated Mitchell Road Dural trig I visited yesterday (Tunks) it's in pretty good shape.

I'll upload my photos in the next couple of hours, which will show the Mason TS plate intact.

This is another high point in the Dural area landscape that's grown up with trees and bushes over the years. I assume this trig is on private property, which is no doubt what protected it from vandalism.

Anyhow, a good find and another historical lesson . . .

'Three Thumbs Up' for my pleasant surprise at finding the trig so easily, about 100 metres further up the road from where I was looking on Google Maps street view!
