While up here for some work tomorrow, I took a stroll into town looking for some din-dins. Very Happy This was first on my walk and was a nice quickie at 18:20. Certainly a different sort of trig station but alas, it was too dark to nab its neighbour - maybe next time. Wink

Thanks Geocaching Australia.

Found while in the Engadine area on my way back. Didn’t spot it at first as the plants around have grown up a bit. Took the photo as required. Thanks for the trig.

Going back to 20/7/1985, I had found and photographed this unusual shaped trig pedestal. Today I came back for some current photos.
I will add a photo of my 1980s topo map showing the 'details' of the two neighbouring trigs.
From a SIX Maps NSW research I noted that this trig has been currently labeled as PM1937, certainly no usual PM box at these coordinates.
Happy to get yet another trig for 2016. (And to see some history)

Finally I came through Engadine on my bicycle and got this one. Two towers, one with a trig on top of it. And this is not the one on a tower!

Very quick find and all was good.....a very different style of trig, but glad to have found it......

Found today while in Engadine. I loved this unusual trig.

Not sure if this is the original spot or they replaced this one when the tower was built. It is a nice cairn now and super easy access.

Can't really miss this one as it is right next to the foot path in front of the water reservoir.

I am certain I have stopped and snapped a pic of this before, but obviously I forgot to log it back then.
Did it this trip.

I was in the area and after a DNF on another cache, I decided to grab this Trig. Parked right next to it and snapped the pic. Easy Peasy!!

I hadn't noticed this before, even though I walk past from time to time on the way to the nearby shops. Driving past this morning so figured time to stop and cross it off the list.
cheers,

Found quite by accident while checking out the Engadine reservoir trig. I just crossed the road for another look and I was standing right in front of this trig!
