completed in the morning after going to the fish markets – needed to justify the unjustifiable road tolls that you pay so did a little caching in this part south of Sydney on the way home. Once I was on the right track it was straight forward – nice walk to this location – many thanks

MrT Continued his coastal walks with some Blue Mountains friends. This time from Maroubra to La Perouse. This trig was spotted along the way TFTT

Had myself a fun afternoon "mopping up" the southern suburbs of trigs. Now I just have the National Park and Bundeena to work on.

Found on an after-work walk along the coast making the most of the last week of daylight savings. Doesn't really resemble a trig anymore.

Second Trig for today. Followed the well maintained path from Henry Head out to this Trig. Great day with a big swell crashing into the rocks and quite a few people about. This trig has seen better days, the reinforcing steel has started to rust causing the concrete to break up. Well worth the visit for some great scenery. TFTC.

After a really great walk along the coast and through the bushland here, we visited this TP. It certainly doesn't look like the traditional construction but it's listed as an official TP so that's good enough for me 
Found this one after a day spent walking around La Perouse, an easy find if you get the right track, don't wander over into the Pistol range!
Unusual type of pedestal, not the usual tapered base but straight sides. There used to be a steel post on top but that is gone now. The wood top I would assume is there to protect the top of the pillar but is not part of the original design.
Amazing views of the ocean below.
