Logs
Heading home from a day out caching with WaywardWoman I saw we were heading past this trig. We couldn't get close so WW pulled over so I could take a photo of it on my camera. TFTT

#GA1301 - 12:25; Day 3 of a caching mission in and around Sydney with Sol de lune. After starting in Campbelltown, we had now made it as far as Penrith and took a side road out to this trig. Development in the area meant that a long shot was the best we could do today. TFTC Geocaching Australia

Found this one on my way back from doing my first flu vaccines of the season. Can't get close because of all the private property. But its in the distance on the top of that hill.

Left my SLR at home, and so had to resort to the phone. Better views on the main road, but the traffic is a concern. It's a pity that properties have closed off this trig. I've become quite attached to them!

Driving and seeking this was missed first pass, then parking, checking compass, a look out the window ... and there in its standalone glory was the Trig.

Trig number 7 with pjmpjm on our Trig hunt today.
This one is unfortunately completely surrounded by private properties and cannot be approached. However it is seen from all the adjoining roads as it is on top of a bald hill, so no problem seeing it.
Looks like to be in great condition with mast and vanes intact as is mostly the case with Trigs on private properties.

Photographed from the road. This trig seems to be completely surrounded by private property. Another find with rogerw3 while on a day of trig hunting.
It's quite visible from a long distance, sitting nicely on the very top of a 'bald' hill -- looking like one of the famous 'tors' in England.

Josh, I too found the trig from the road. It is clearly visible but hard to photograph. I am happy to log a fing and obviously am happy for you to have the first find.
Littleham trig can be seen from many spots along Mamre, Kerrs and Mount Vernon Roads. However, it appears to be on private property and closest getting to the trig was 380 metres. Took a photo with my phone of the hill, but can barely see the trig. Not sure if this is good enough to claim a find.
