#GA1299 - 11:30; Day 3 of a caching mission in and around Sydney with Sol de lune. Another trig on a tank as we skirted around Sydney and in an area which is starting to see some development. TFTC Geocaching Australia

A landmark trig for me -- my 200th log! And one of nine trigs found in a single afternoon.
Thanks to rogerw3 for all his work in discovering the precise coordinates of so many forgotten NSW trigs -- making it all possible.
Anyhow, he and I struggled to find a good camera angle on this one, and finally got to a place where we could see the 'stump' or 'mast' of the trig, minus the vanes.
My photos -- using an iPhone -- aren't as good as those of rogerw3, I'm afraid. But this is as close as we could get without trespassing on Water Board property (where we couldn't have seen the trig mast in any case).
(An extra 'Thumbs Up' for my 200th . . .)

Find number 7 of 9 for todays trigging trip with pjmpjm. This one proved to be a challenge to find the right angle to view the trig, from the nearby nursery the angle is too steep to see anything, it is only from Sixth Avenue that the base of the Trig can be seen surrounded as usual for reservoir Trigs by the security handrail to stop walking on non reinforced area of the roof.
