Logs
After an epic day out yesterday paddling the Colo River we’re heading home across Sydney, stopping for interesting caches as we go. We were with Mighty Minions, chasing reasonable D:T caches and of course trigs... We ended up towing the trailer through Galston Gorge - we won't forget that soon....
Not much to see here now - just a rock pile? We got the photo and went caching....

Another day another trig. This time in the hills district going to see new places new things. This trig has defiantly seen better days, not much more than a pile of rocks in the paddock closer to the house. actually took us a moment to spot and had to refer to previous logs photos. But there it was defiantly still there.

another day in the hills district exploring and finding places I haven't been before, that's one of the great things about geocaching. today we came up with 4 trigs most of which were easy to get to and then quite challenging to see clearly. this one little more than a pile of rocks in the distance not one of the best trigs I have found but it is a tick in the box none the less.

GCA 1889. Found during a run up to Sydney for some rarer GC caches plus any trigs along the way.
First trig of the day. Not looking its best - surprised the rocks haven't been "reused" !
TFTC !!

Headed to Sydney with fitzy_1965 for a weekend away to grab some rarer GC caches and as many trigs as we could.
This was our first trig for the day.
Definitely surprised it is still there.

On my 'way home' from a CITO Event I pulled up on GSAK various Trigs that I could find, and plugged in this one as well.
Yes, a sorry and sad pile of rocks - took a photo @ 1833, Saturday, 25 February, 2017 - logging 31/5/17

Passing by with JJCC after a cache run in the hills and stopped off to log this trig point on the way home. Initially couldn't see anything but then soon spotted the pile of rocks in the distance indicating the rock cairn of the trig.
Stopped here for a second time. This time I knew what I was looking for. A happy snap taken from the fence line with the cairn mound visible between the trees in my photo

Another house, another pile of rocks, another trig. Interesting that they are still here...
Was not sure if I shot the correct stones, but here goes! TFTT

Found by Geoson on 13 October 2012 whilst around the area doing some caching. We could see the remains of Jay fom the road. There was someone at the back of the property working and we tried to get their attention to ask permission to have a closer look. Alas they could not hear or see us so Geoson took a Pic from the fenceline.

I wasn't as bold as the others. Stopped by the road and snapped 2 pics from a distance. Done!

A quick walk up the driveway and I was 10m away from the old rock platform, now in disarray.

Found this Trig today with pjmpjm on our trig hunt. This is readily visible from the road, although at the moment due to the recent rain there is quite a lush grass covering, no doubt this will be grazed down eventually when the paddock is used, the sheep that usually live here will make short work of this grass and the cairn will be much more apparent. It is quite visible on Google Earth.
Great to see the remnants of the cairn, but no mast or vanes were to be seen, they are long gone.

We'd looked for this one ages ago when I only had the old maps so I thought it must be along the road. Only when rogerw3's coords appeared was it realised it was on private land.
Finally we were going past today and I pulled up having spotted the old cairn in the yard. Stopped for a photo as the burros looked on. Can be done from the fence so could be unarchived.

Since this cache is about 75 metres on private property it should be archived.
Discovered the rock cairn next to a private driveway in Annangrove, just off Annangrove Road. It appears that the remains of this old trig are definitely situated on private property, although you can see the rocks from the road.
There's no sign of a post or vanes, but I couldn't get close enough to see everything. It looks very similar to other abandoned rock cairns I've seen lately, but it's not 'de-piled' or hollowed out.
Am not sure whether or not this one should be archived, due to its location.

Looked for this one some time back but more along the road. It appears to be on private land although the driveway by the fence may be public access.
