Was in the city for a pickup so on the way home completed a couple of caches – a nice area to visit & the history of this area – did the distance shot on this 1 – thanks

Was in the area this afternoon and remembered this trig so stopped in Zoeller street and was able to get a clear view of the trig on the roof. TFTC.

Located on teh roof of the former Bushells coffee factory, this trig point was easy to see from a distance. Two photos have been added to the Gallery showing a distance view and a closer view. Thanks for the cache.
With some time to kill today, I came to the area for a GC cache (too hard for me today) and came away having learned about the exiled French Canadians. And with the chimney so dominant in the skyline one had to wonder if it was listed as a trig. Turns out it’s not the chimney but there is a regular trig on the roof - just as good for me.
Day trip to Sydney with LuckyL10n to bust free a few GeGnomes and snare a few more Trigs.....
Next trig on the list and an easy one to spot....TFTT

After finding the Concord SDA Church I headed onto this trig, and got a photo or two. Thanks

#GA507 - 14:45; Back in Sydney with the geohoney for the weekend, so after dropping her off for some retail therapy, it was off to grab a few caches. I'd had three finds and a DNF on a now demolished trig on the way over. Might not have wandered this far in had I realised how far I had come from the retail emproium, but glad I did. I now have both Maxwell House and Bushells in the bag. TFTC Geocaching Australia

I work near the Belaroma Coffee factory and get similar delicious smells whenever they are roasting. Mmmmm!
Had to step away from the building a bit to see the trig and get the shot. Found at 3:11 pm.

Found with Mr you-know-who 
So this is the picture of me with funny frowning-smile-face..not the other one, ha ha. I've found a couple of trigs now but they still seem very mysterious to me..as none of the ones I've found were close enough for me to see what a trig really is. Hopefully will find out soon with Mr you-know-who mua haha.

Something of a landmark around these parts and still functioning today despite the rest of the industry in the area being long gone in exchange for residential. Zhaoy and I were in the area for a cache, a trig, and to drop a frog. Mission Complete!

Found this one today, eventually since I got on the wrong bus and ended up in Ashfield, well at least it was the right number bus just the wrong direction!
I did manage to get there in the end for this nice Trig quite easy to spot and photograph.

Passing by today after a quick work visit to Five Dock. A quick detour, and pic, and then on back to the office. The hardest part was finding my way across...The building is visible form a long way, but not the easiest to get to without local knowledge, GPS or street directory (okay, I was being lazy and thought I didn't need any of these!).
best wishes,

A few locationless, a trig, a GC traditional, and some gnomes.
This was the easiest of the set I guess.

Not sure why they didn't just use the top of the chimney as it would be visible from further! The trig is relatively easy to see as you approach along Burwood Road from the west.
It's actually the Bushells factory so I will update the listing to reflect this.

Drove past to get a cache and saw the vane on top of the taaaall building. Took some shots. You can only see it from the one side I think. But it's there.

On my way back from Homebush I decided to drop by to see if there was anything left here. Funny all these undiscovered trigs popping up now. Found one at Chatswood this morning.
At the corner of Duke Ave and Burwood Road you can see a tall building with a taller chimney. The trig's not on that but peeking over the southern side is a single masted trig. Hard to get the perfect shot but you can see it easily enough. Not sure what they make in this building.
I would think there could be a trig on Concord Hospital as well - it's tall enough and about 2km west. Had a look on the way home but was in traffic and would have had fund explaining why I'd run up the back of another car!
