Beautiful day to log a Trig.

We took our Dad/Pop for a drive down the Convict Trail for a daytrip during his stay, grabbed some trigs on the way.... It would be cool to have your own trig in your yard, wouldn't it - it pop a trad on it too!

Found with Shankspony after a lovely day around Maroota. I'd love to have a trig in my garden.

Awwwww Dancing someone's taking good care of this one. Proudly displayed in garden with some nice paintwork. Top effort. And beautiful spring flowers along the road at this time of year

Out with Outdoornut to get a few caches on what was a really wet and windy day, we decided to cut it short and come back another day as it just wasn't that pleasant searching and getting drenched. got this one anyhow as it was a quick and easy find and we hardly had to leave the car.

Wanted to keep my streak going for another few days so that meant getting out in the rain. Luckily I didn’t even need to leave the car to get this one. Still in good condition too Clan Minotaur

An interesting location for a trig right here in someone's front yard it seems! Concrete pillar and vanes in pretty good condish. I think this is now our 50th trig find. We enjoy Waymarking probably as much as geocaching. It is interesting to find these trigs and fun to find ones like this in very unusual places! TFTC.

A nice drive by trig completed.
Also, today I wanted to find this trig for the Journey or Destination - Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
1.Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
2.Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
3.Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
4.Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
5.Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.
A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills, Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache), Traditional, TrigPoint, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia, The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced, The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period, The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more), The geocache is one of the following types:, Moveable, Traditional, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.
So, A BIG thanks for the trig, I must say a very interesting one and the location of it.

Caching with WaywardWoman today before the GC Christmas event. Another trig to detour to on our way to a GC cache. TFTT

Taking the long way home today, with a good few trigs to be found on the way.

First target of a great day's caching which took in Wiseman's Ferry, St Albans and Sackville. Very interesting to find this trig on private property but reasonably close to the fence line. Surprised to see the last log nearly 3 years ago. That should help towards the 50 years unloved challenge cache.

Oops! Logging caches from our Tassie trip and noticed I missed this ne when we went succulent hunting last month Very Happy

Garden shopping with Zhaoy and the only cache nearby so we stopped in. Odd to see a fully fledged trig in a front yard like this!

First Found 31/10/1983, and photographed then. But back today @ 1730 to get a current one. 30 years ago it was not so visible as there was a copse of privet around it. In good condition. (I forget if I had jumped the fence to check on the name plate back then.)

Certainly a conversation piece to have a trig in your yard. It even has its own fence to protect it from the livestock. Looks in good condition other than the fading black paint on the vanes.

Found this one plenty of times during the years, this Trig is in the back yard near old shed, this property once belonged to the Schwebel family, Les being the last Schwebel to own the place, took pic as I picked up vehicle for repairs, cain still in good nick. Very Happy
 
22-Aug-11
on the way to recover a tent I dropped on a hike, called in to do this trig
 
05-Jun-11
Another lovely old/traditional trig point, found on my early morning ride.

Couldn't believe it when I drove up and there is a Trig in someone's back yard (or is it front?) Got out and snapped the pics. That would be a good talking point when people come over! Nice one.

Look its a horse paddock! Look its a horse! Look its a trig! No problem with the neigh-bours either... Smile

Found on a Trig hunt with pjmpjm driving the Geoburu 2. Very nice condition, just behind the fence, no problems here just a drive by. The ID plaque is not visible as it faces the barn.

What an amazing and unexpected place for a trig, on private property in a bushy and unknown part of Glenorie.

strike-a-light says that there used to be great views from this spot, when there were no trees. Must have been a long time ago.

Anyhow, it's easy to find and you can photograph it without difficulty from the edge of Knock Farrell Road.

It's your standard black-disk trig on a concrete pedestal and seems to be in very good condition, as near as I can tell.

I took a few photos with my iPhone camera and will upload them when I get back from work.

Was a bonus that I found a traveling 'gnome' hiding in the grass in close proximity -- so collected two GCA caches with one trip up Old Northern Road!

All these years in the area -- decades actually -- and I don't think I ever once drove down Knock Farrell Road.

I saw this come up the other day and checked it out on Google Earth which sure enough, showed a trig. On a gnome moving expedition we dropped by here to check it out. Yes there it is in the field not far from the fence. On private land with an electric fence at present but easy to get a photo.
