Out in the beautiful weather with Outdoornut22 we decided to head for the mountains and I'm glad we did because I love the view! this trig wasn't far off the road. I think the walk up was made easier because of the recent fire we weren't having to bush bash to much. though that did make us a bit worried about what we might or might not find at the top because it looks like it came through hot!!! but we came over the rise and there it was a bit chawed but otherwise in very good condition.

Sophoutloud and I decided we had to make use of the beautiful day the weekend had provided us and after a bit of deliberation on the Geocaching Australia map we decided that Kings Tableland would be a good day outing to somewhere we hadn't been in a while with the bonus of being able to get 7 trigs and a virtual. All the Trigs we found were in great condition and most were tidy and well painted. walking trough the bush up here was pretty easy at the moment as there is still no undergrowth although it is pretty sad to see the many trees have been damaged to an extent that they were really struggling to shoot out sprouts and keep growing. this was a nice easy bush bash up from the trail, however we walked right up to the big rock wall and had to find our way around to the left, there are some interesting Little Rock caves here to have a look at seems someone has camped in one of them. Good to see this one has survived well through the fires

The approach from Anderson’s Track seemed too flat at first - until I hit a BIG lump of rock. The bush was quite open and the climb up the lump (left hand side) was easy. The trig has a nice outlook but I didn’t hang around as it was getting late in the day.

We parked off the road at Anderson's Fire Trail. MrT headed off into the bush heading to GZ. He climbed up some rocks and arrived at the Trig. Took photos then headed back to the car along an easier route that didnt require him to climb down rocks! Back in the car and we headed on. TFTT

I did an early morning run to the end of Kings Tableland Road to McMahon's Point and Battleship Tops. I was last time down this way in April 2015 and I had some unfinish trigs to do that in 2015 I looked at and noted some information on them. I even kept the paperwork on these trigs. So today it was time to complete these trigs along this road. It was a coolish November day which was good as it helped in achieving the find. I am glad I have done some other off-track trigs early this year as it helped with this walk. Gee the bush was thickish and it took a bit of effort to find a way through the easier way. I took rogerw3 advice and went up the left-hand side and for me this was a reasonable option. You just need to pick your line. As like usual and with no difference today hard way to trig and easier way returning to car, well just altered the line a bit but you are unable to avoid the dense bush bash up here. The view was good but after completing Harris Hill before this one it was a letdown but still a good view is found up here. In any case it was nice to see a well-made trig still standing and in good order. I also found in a rock shelf not far from trig a nicely drilled hole. I have supplied the photos of it. Must have something to do with the installation of trig or something else. I was glad I was wearing spats and had a walking stick as I needed the protection and assistance of them. It was good to complete this trig and the challenge it gave to get up here. Thanks again for the challenge and the view.

a short but fun hike from the road. trig still standing proudly.

Found this little beauty with pjmpjm during an impromptu trigging expedition. We had come previously as far as the parking spot but were defeated by darkness. No this time, a beautiful autumn afternoon and plenty of sunshine and for a change very little wind.
Anyway we made our way around the right hand side of the ridge, but the left hand side is an easier way up, but still a bit of bush bashing and rock climbing is needed to reach GZ, but nothing very hard or difficult.
The trig is in great shape, with remains next to it of the original Cairn type trig. The concrete base is signed "S. Turtle" a name I have encountered in the data from other trigs, but no reference to him on this trig, I would assume that at this stage he was only the assistant before becoming a full fledged officer.

Found this one together with rogerw3 on our Sunday afternoon trig expedition on Tableland Road in Wentworth Falls.

Some time ago, we had driven down to the beginning of trail off the main road, but it was almost dark then and we didn't dare to risk the ascent, having already had a long day of trigging. Today it was a bright and sunny autumn afternoon, just right for following TC's example and making a short climb up the forested slope.

The old trig was right where it was supposed to be, very study on its metal post, looking like it would last a great many more years in this high altitude spot. Doubtless no one but geocachers and wedge tail eagles will ever visit here!

After a close inspection of the trig -- including the nearby pile of stones from the orginal cairn -- and its interesting 'signed' concrete pad, we enjoyed the long distance views for a while before starting back down towards the road and onwards to the next old trig.

Quite a fun adventure!

'Four Thumbs Up' for an old trig, great viewed and a 'signed' concrete foundation . . .

Went on a short if a little tricky 300m bush bash to climb up to this one. The view back the way I came from the start of Andersons Fire Trail was worth the effort.
