The 2nd of two on this hill. Easily spotted, though I have no idea why the iPhone camera did such a bad job here though it was looking towards the sun I suppose. Still you can tell there is a tower there.

Found it Very Happy headed off to the 'big smoke' this morning to collect an item we purchased, and of course that meant geocaching as well. Found this Trig with no problems. Clan Phoenix

Unloved. I was in the area for other reasons but I knew this trig was here. Found at 6:05 pm.

Another one unfound for 96 weeks. This was just a stroll from Collaroy trig. Weird this should be a trig as well with the other one so close and functional. Anyway cross another one off.

Discovered this trig together with rogerw3 while in the area for another one of our afternoon trig hunting expeditions.

The NSW Department of Lands has designated the top of this tower as TS12049 so it's a bonafide trigpoint.

rogerw3 gets full credit for finding out about this one, which is positioned next to two other now-defunct trigs.

One out of three ain't bad!

Found this one with pjmpjm during our afternoon trig search. This transmission tower is in fact a replacement for an earlier smaller tower. The lightning rod is the Trig target.
