I parked in a nearby street and walked around the corner to make this find. TFTC.

It took a couple of minutes to locate this trig point because there had been a smash at the location recently and there was quite a deal of gravel over the marker. We cleaned as much off as possible so that the Trig Point was recognisable. The required photo has been added to the Gallery. Thanks for the cache.
Had noted that this one was here sometime ago, and just happened to be in the area today, so thought I had better stop and get it.
Parked in a side street (definitely not stopping Woodville Road, it is too busy!) and walked up to get it. Easy find.

Homeward bound after a trip to Sydney. My driving partner was convinced to detour so I could find this trig. She dropped me off at the corner and did a loop of the block while I ran up and took a quick photo.

Parked across the road in Clark St and ventured over. Easily spotted.

Parked around the corner and then walked back to find the cover and all was good....
I needed to go to Sydney to catch up with fellow travelers from Cabramatta, so looked around for a Trig Point, as well as some caches to help with day. I was in a bit of a rush getting to the meeting, so ended up getting about 1:30 in the morning. No walking muggles, but some drivers might have wondered why I was squatting near the opening. It took quite a few handfuls of filthy black dirt to expose the metal pin. Then I took a couple of photos. I wasn't able to see the name or number on the metal plate inside the lid.

This took a while to be found it was hard to locate. Eventually found a map with a description of where to look. Now to get there but the only chance I had was after dark. So walking along Woodville Road with traffic going past all the time and I finally spotted the PM cover. opened it and took the photos great finding this one. I wonder what the drivers thought I was doing

Logged to get of my Hit list... Is this PM really a Trig? Question for the Trig-Master. Maybe Rog could review and archive it if need be 
I'll log a find as the personal risk to life and limb visiting Granville deserves it hehehe 
I suppose it has a number and there is something to find...

Found this while in the area. A quick simple walk over.

A quick stop on the way home from an afternoon's caching, though it is necessary to park around the corner. Found as the light was starting to fade about 5pm.
554. Driving by I wondered where the trig was. Parked in a back street and wandered up to the area still looking for the familiar blades. Scratched my head and there it was. Is it or....? Anyway one of the drawbacks of having to submit photos is that the CO and future gallery viewers may get an unintended consequence - my melon accidentally in reflection. Take that!
TFTT and the fever.

The only satisfying find of the morning trig hunt with two duds and a distant one. This was easy just being a PM. Got the pic, just got to get it off the phone camera.
A nice easily found trig on a Sunday morning, so it was nice & quiet, thanks.

Found while placing the Parramatta ICEM. Easy. Park on Clarke Street for convenience, and not on Woodville Road.

What to do, no Gnomes to go hunt for, hey I know how about this Trig it is only a 2 1/2 hour train ride and a 30 minute walk to it.
Off we go, and after the usual photos here is another Trig found.
Woohoo!
