Found on a morning to Warragamba. Have been here many times and it never fails to impress!. TFTT
Last of a handful of trig finds while out exploring Waragamba Dam today with the family. A quick find after driving around from the main dam site to the viewing platform off 18th(?) street. Some great information boards here including one about the trigs and how the dam was surveyed. Photo of the trig and info board attached.
We had a great morning out here exploring the area. Make sure you go into the visitors centre, what a great kid friendly set up they have. The geokiddies loved it and we enjoyed learning about the history of this place.
Thanks for the trig Geocaching Australia.

First find on a very frustrating afternoon. Thwarted by so many roads being closed off.

#GA1361 - 12:34; Doing the 'Tour de Wollondilly' with Sol de lune and andrewbt to collect a few trigs and other bits and pieces. We had now reached Warragamba Dam, where we hoped to bag a dozen or so trigs. Unfortunately the viewing platform was as close as we could get today, so we only wound up with six finds. Looks like a trip back on a weekend when it is possible to get down along the dam wall. Although the road in to this trig is closed, it can still be clearly seen from the viewing platform at the dam.
We did identify what seem to be two unpublished trigs (Prang Point and what could be S13). In the process it seems others may be incorrectly claiming what I think could be S13 as Pole Point and the real Pole Point as S27. Might be worth checking out. TFTC Geocaching Australia

On a day trip to Warragamba to check out the trig situation with Luckyl10n and AndrewBT. Had an interesting time sorting which trig was which and after a check of the six website https://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/ we think we may have identify a couple of new/other ones. Have decide to only log the ones we are sure of, and will come back on a weekend we can walk across the dam wall to check out the others.
This one is all good......

Found this one together with rogerw3 during our afternoon of trig hunting in the Warragamba area. Later, we discovered a GC nearly right under our feet! Great views of Warragamba Dam on a beautiful spring day.
