Logs
Approached this first by going to the carpark on the top of Westfields Shopping Centre. Took a couple of photos, but which one of those spikes is the trig?
Second time went to the corner of Great Western Highway and Bobart Street. Took a couple more photos. This time I can see something which I think are the black discs of a trig point marker.
Thanks

dingoman007 was the photographer of this one as I was busying dodging peak hour traffic. Miraculously, he got a shot with the trig visible! Noice!
Spotted from the across the road and grabbed the photo.....only a few to go today.
Last day of training at Police HQ for a while so had to go get the local trigs. It was about 35° and so dry I was cooking but a lovely change from all the rain recently.
On my stroll around Parramatta this morning I was able to snap a picture of the trig on top of Wentworth Gardens Building.

553. Driving around vainly trying to find somewhere where the traffic wasn't. But did spot this on the map and ducked into what I hoped was a quiet back street - nope. But did give me the opportunity to stretch my legs and snap a shot.
TFTT and the Wenty?

Had to drop by Westfield Shopping for pick up a few things, so I headed to the top of the carpark to spot the trig on top. Certainly a lot happening on top of this building.
Doing a close multi, and took this photo of the building and Trig.

Tragic was very slow so managed to grab the required photo while the lights were red. A true drive by!
Thanks for the tim pjmpjm, I took the photo from the corner of the Great Western Highway and O'Connell Street. Through the sunroof as I was stopped at the lights!?!
I parked on the roof car park of Westfield Shoppingtown in downtown Parramatta but found that I couldn't quite see the trig's black disk from up there.
Walked down to where Toriaz suggested, and there is was, plain as day.
There are several easy spots for a good photo from the corner of the GWH and O'Connell Street.
Still seems odd I couldn't quite see it from the car park, where the rear of the blue high-rise is quite evident, but I guess the trig is attached right near the front edge of the building.

Spotted this one on the way back from Parramatta. I was a bit further away than previous finders but it gives a different angle.
Looks like I got there too late to claim FTF! the early bird catches the worm, but never forget that it is the early worm that gets caught by the bird!
An easy find and quite visible from the street even amongst all the array of metal on this roof.

FTF!
This one is actually on top of the building I park in, near my work, so it was an easy find this morning after I'd parked.
The building is a block of residential flats, on the corner of O'Connell Street & the Great Western Highway (the large blue building). You can see the trig from the street near the intersection. I got a better view from higher ground next to the building. Others not familiar with the building & access points might not be able to see how to get to this spot - I used a path next to the driveway on Campbell Street.
