Having travelled north to hunt down some GC Challenge caches, I am making my way back south using trig stations as my guide. Thanks for publishing them Geocaching Australia.

Out trigging with Sophoutloud today on a mission to take over Penrith. It was a beautiful warm day and we were surprised how many of these trigs had survived the urban expansion of Penrith. They were all found in varying conditions from as perfect as the day they were built to pretty broken and covered in graffiti. Nice quick easy one to get a snap of on top of the tank. Clan Minotaur

Found while on the way home after a caching morning at Richmond with viaggio0001. The day was hot by lunchtime so it was nice to be able to park nearby for a quick photo.

Out caching with.... GeoDirk! After waking up too early today he was doomed to go caching with me today. After 14 puzzles, 4 trigpoints, 4 traditionals and one multi, we had a slushee. It was a win!

First trigpoint of the day. Despite the photo without the vanes in it, they were visible from the road!

Wasn't able to get right on top (surprise, surprise), so had to get the 'selfie' from as close as practical. Not the usual shape of a water reservoir.
 
09-Jun-14
almost drove pass this one again
thankyou
 
11-Jan-14
My last trig find for the day - I think that was ten for the morning. An American style water tower with an oddly pointed trig on it.
 
12-Jun-13
Raining, and the Water Tower was in a raincoat???
 
06-May-13
Found on a trip out to Penrith for the Heart caches.

I was driving around the area today and suddenly spotted a trig! What? I've cached in this area a few times & had no idea I'd left this easy trig unfound! Strange looking water tower too.
 
03-Dec-11
Whilst in the area for a few caches, Geoson spotted this one Smile
 
21-Sep-11
While in the area for a gig, I took the chance to get several GC caches and 3 trigs - this was trig 1 for the arvo.
 
11-Aug-11
I actually found this trig a few months ago while out about driving. Anyway, Today, I logging it! Easy trig to spot.
 
10-Jul-11
I had to tkae a longer shot to avoid the sun.
 
04-Jul-11
Tall spheroid water tank is hard to miss, but getting a good angle without having the sun in my eyes was the main problem.

A neighbour was standing just where I wanted to take my photograph!

Anyhow, I had to compromise . . .

Thanks to rogerw3 for re-discovering this one.

Trig number 6 of 7 for today's 23km walk from Penrith via Cranebrook and Castlereagh then back to Penrith station.
I was not sure what to expect here, but it turned out to be a very nice and easy to find Trig on top of the elevated reservoir.
Now on to the last one for the day.
