Logs
It took a little while to find a safe parking spot. Once we did, it was about a 350m walk to this trig point, although we accessed the area through the hole in the fence. We had reports of long grass but the trig point was very visible when we arrived. The required photos have been added to the Gallery. Thanks for the cache.
On a caching run out into the eastern suburbs to get some trigs haven't got to before this was one of the ones we spotted. Photo taken this is taken as part of the 2018 to 2019 Summer Games.

It was a bit of fun sneaking in through the hole in the fence. No one seemed to notice. Too busy playing golf!

We followed the instructions of those before us and found the trig. No one was worried about us being there.

On my way to the Domestic terminal at Sydney Airport I saw that this trig / waymark wasn't too far off the intended route, so took the short detour before picking my younger son up for his short stay on this side of Oz.
Without reading the trig 'cache' page I found the hole in the cyclone mesh fence, and being before 6.30 in the morning there wasn't anybody around to challenge me. Took the walk up the hill to find the trig quite overgrown. Tried to pull the branches back to photograph the name plate.

#GA562 - 17:20; I was back in Sydney with the geohoney for an event and afterwards we headed off on a short circuit to grab a few caches before the evening function got underway. It was getting towards dark when I managed to find a park in a side street, before heading solo around the corner and along the path towards GZ. No problems with golfers, in fact I didn't see a single muggle the whole time, but the photos didn't turn out as well as they might have in the poor light. Unfortunately the name plate was on the bushy side and is a bit blurry as I was holding back the shrubbery with one hand while trying to take a photo with the other. TFTC Geocaching Australia

I was walking past on the way back from grabbing East-Lakes cache down the path and decided to head up and grab this trig, no problem with the golfers and I was quickly on my way.
I finally decided to have a go at this Trig, I had always worried about the fact that it is on the golf course, but it was starting to annoy me as it seemed to be so easy to reach.
Got on the train to Central and took the 310 bus to the corner of Page Street and Wentworth Avenue for a very short easy walk to the overhead bridge, and as expected the fence stops just after the bridge so an scramble up the bank and over the walk way to the other side and up the little hill and sure enough there is the trig, even here graffiti artist have found their way, and the mast and vanes have been snapped off the base, however the name plaque is still there.
No problems with the golfers, the Hi-vis vest really does make you invisible!

I chose to do this one on a cold, wet and windy night. Bit of adventure I thought. I parked on the other side of the road and followed the GPS. Never knew there was a trig up there. In the dark that fence looks likes it goes all the way along the road, but past the bridge, it stops. Problem is that there is a steep assent instead. In the dark, and with wet sand under foot, every step was a guess. Before long that white sentinel stood out so obviously in the dark I was surprised how easy it all was. Got my photo in between cloud bursts and away I shot down the hill. It was not until I got them onto the computer that I saw how blurry they all where. Sorry about that. Nice views up there of the city in the dark. TFTC

*FTF*
I figured I would grab a few FTF's on Trigs as I went around sydney today, this was the first of three.
I parked nearby and walked to 50M from GZ and found that it is positioned inside the golf course grounds, and I was about to give up when I found a way in, so I got to snap the reqd pic after all.
The fluoro vest makes a differnce when gilfers see you wandering.
