I was in the area so I went for a walk to locate this trig.

On my way home south and grabbing some more LGAs in the Greater Sydney area. TFTT Geocaching Australia.
I pulled off into the entrance to the tanks. I could not see a trig, and guess it is missing, so I was not sure what I should photograph. Therefore I took a picture of the stairs of each tank. TFTC.
I looked at this from several angles but couldn't see the mast any more. Going by the survey, it was centred on the top platform so I imagine the centre of the tower is now the reference.

GrimRaider and I picked up this Trig today on our way through Sydney on our way to Nelson Bay. Fits nicely into a SSS claim. TFTT

Finally I did this road while sitting in the passenger seat and I could take some pictures.
Next trig on the list and again, something a little different. Glad I checked some previous photos for this one.
Dive weekend Terrigal September 2015. The huge brick structure looks amazimg and it was great to get to see the trig over the road.
Thanks

While I was with my very dear friend (and agony Uncle!) we walked past this Trig so had to do the duties.

I am sure that the last time that I photographed this reservoir trig (back in the 80s) that it actually had a set of vanes on it tho.
Great to get at least another photo of it tho.

Had seen the water tower a few times while heading to Wahroonga to visit relatives, but it took Cookie pointing out there was a trig point there to make me interested. Took a photo of him with the tower behind.
While waiting to pick my daughter up from her school for next year, where she was having an intro session, I decided to finally photograph this trig, having driven past it uncountable times in the past without an opportunity to stop. I had to look at the previous logs to understand which object to view - aah, that one! TFTT
Close to the new home, so stopped by on the way home from having to work today to grab the find. Took the shot from the pedestrian overbridge across the highway nearby, stuffed if I can see a narrow radio mast/antenna on the tall tank these days!
being on the way home from The Hunter, and having to divert via the city to drop of the work vehicle, we stoppe off here long enough to grab a pic, then moved on. 6 hours of travel overall, and only a 3hour job up there - I was really glad they were paying travel time as well on this trip.
Thank you for the tip on where the trig was. Pulled over into the drive way and walked up the road to get a better view.
The closest unfound trig to home was 'found' today when I was on a visit to Wahroonga. I'd always thought there had to be a trig here but couldn't spot anything from the ground or on the aerial pics. The fact that there was a trig called 'Wahroonga' made me think it must be that and rogerw3's detective work again came to the fore.
Anyway that's it found now.

Pulled up off the hwy and stopped to check this one out. Could see the tower and the antenna so took some photos. Thanx.

Pulled in off the Pacific Highway on my way elsewhere and took a picture of this NSW Department of Lands TS, looking like a radio antenna at the top of the steps up the reservoir. Didn't have too much time to spend and enjoy the scene -- and it was raining as well!
Thanks to rogerw3 for re-discovering this one.

Found today, although I was looking for Gravity Stations which unfortunately are no longer there. I had to make do with a Trig instead!
