This trig was much harder to track down
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.

We were headed home from a weekend in Katoomba doing some abseiling training, and decided to base the trip across Sydney on trigs, and would see what caches popped up.
This was tricky to spot, we needed to cross the Gt Western Highway to see this peeking over the top (we wished we had our drone!), maybe 80m away. Don't be distracted by the other antennae, its a typical CORS.....

We spend a lot of time coming to this shopping center. It’s funny when you find out something new about a place you thought you knew well!! Didn’t know that there was a trig here. Very hard to find but it’s definitely there!

found it just peeping over the top of the wall, not my favourite type of trig but another one off the list 
Spotted from the northern side of Jane St as I was walking the area whilst the car was in for a service.

I was heading to the Plaza this morning to finish Christmas shopping before the last minute rush starts so thought I would look again. Thanks to Roger's photo and Zalgariath's hint, I crossed the road near the station and walked up towards the lights at the other end. Finally spotted the trig. I only had my phone on me so took the same photo as the previous logs, but then found it at a slightly different angle so posted that one. TFTT

That was tricky! You need to cross Jane st to have a chance to spot it. Got it in the end

A quick trip down to Penrith, although I was not entirely sure it could be seen, in fact you can just make out the top of it.
