Logs
a great and sunny day to get out and do a bit of exploring somewhere new Soph and I went a round about way to get to town and bagged 3 trigs and a mystery today. This one was pretty easy to get to with a rough gravel road then a fire trail going all the way up to it. an unexpected spot to find a trig but it just sort of pops out at you when you get up close. in great condition apart from a little rust on the metal vanes.

Out again on another sunny summer day to collect a bunch of trigs. Over the other side of the Hawkesbury than our normal stomping ground today. A bit of a tangle of roads to find this trig but with the cords all dialed into the GPS we didn’t have any issues finding this trig. Another extra like from me because I didn’t have to walk up any hills. Yay!!

Lazily drove all the way to this one, but nice find in unexpected location

Well I drove right up to trig parked about 10 metres away and took the shots. While I was here on this hot day, the trees provided a lot of shade so I had a bite to eat and a cold drink, a lovely peaceful spot this is.
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.

After a trip to St Albans to nab the St Albans Trig, I decided to make a detour on the way home to find Daly.
Navigation whilst driving is not my strong suite, so I did take a few wrong turns on the way but finally found myself on the right road and parked the car ready to walk for a bit. Surprised to find my walk was only about 10 metres! Good find.

I drove straight past. One quick glance to the left would have saved me a bit of time.

Out on a caching run and after driving along the road we parked near the gate and walked the short distance up to the trig. phlphotos spotted it first, what a great trig to find. Well worth the trip.

Came for a drive on my day off with teamMerlin & Splitty Miller JJCC. Came looking for this trig in the rain got to the house at the end of the drive then headed along the track to the trig. Spotted it from a bit of a distance. I agree with whitemushroom one of the tallest masts I have located. Took the photos as required. Thanks for the trig

A joy of trig seeking is to travel down a winding road that seemingly peters away ... and there gently shrouded in light bushland with the song of colourful parrots at full throat is a tall sentinel standing proud. Daly, to the 'mushroom mind is taller by mast than most, but there it is - mast, vanes and name plate all intact. Worth the 'long winding road' to behold.

After a completing a GC cache in Mitchell Park I took the short drive from there to here to claim another trig point. Drove to about 100 mtrs as the road changed from tarred to gravel then a little rougher. Trig easily spotted just off the track I was using

That was fun.....and yep, the roads get smaller the further you go in...but at the end is a neat looking trig. No troubles spotting this one....

Second of my three trigs up this way. Followed the GA Cacher app's directions right to GZ along a series of dwindling roads. Easy to spot and there's even a yellow spray spot on a dead tree in case you miss it. Old cairn nearby. Good find - pretty good condition for a 1973 trig.

23 weeks unfound. Came past looking for this Trig. Drove down the 'no through road' and up the track in a 2 wheels drive even. Saw the Trig from a distance and walked over to take some photos. Nice Trig in all its glory. Beautiful

What a fantasitc spot and a traditional trig post with the post and vanes are all in good condition.

Another find with pjmpjm on our Trig hunt. The FTF for this one goes to BakTrak, he put in the hard yards. We just had to get there we knew there was something to find!
The concrete pedestal complete with mast and vanes appears suddenly though the bush right on the edge of the track, it is in excellent condition with the name plaque still in place and as a bonus the remnants of the original cairn are still next to it.

What a lovely old classic trig -- nearly perfect!
Congratulations to BakTrak for his recent FTF -- this wasn't entirely a straightforward trig to find.
But it was well worth the effort, with side name plaque and vanes all looking good and no evidence of any serious vandalism.
Lots of fun to see this one peeking through the gum trees as we finally approached up the fire trail . . .
Thanks too to rogerw3 for discovering the coords of the TS and publishing it.

Parked at a clearing near an open gate and walked up to "Floyds Rd Fire Trail Middle". The locals I questioned can't remember ever seeing the gate closed and believe it's now a public road.
The concrete pedestal and vanes are visible from the trail, being about 6m into the bush. A stump on the road has a reasonably fresh yellow paint spot, no more than a few years old. About 3m behind the pedestal are the remains of an earlier stone cairn with the depiled rocks still in a circle and a marked depression in the centre.
The trig is in fairly good condition with the plastic centre post starting to deform around the vanes. Can't fault the coordinates.
