Took a drive over to Helensburgh this afternoon to have a look for the trigs in the Garrawarra Centre, found this one just over the fence in front of the water reservoir. Love the two old water reservoirs. Didn't take my GPS but didn't need it anyway. TFTT.

Down in Helensburgh before heading to my event at Ebenezer for Australia Day. This was one of the trigs I took photos off. It was the easiest

Out with fitzy_1965 to take advantage of the bonus points on offer this week.

Having solved most of the Princes Highway Puzzles, they were our main target today. All were found quickly & easily unless otherwise mentioned.

Made a few detours for trigs too.

I can't believe I could not locate this the last two visits. I must have been confused...I don't know. This time it was an easy find.

#GA2772 - 09:05; Day seven of the 2018 Oz GeoMuster mission with Sol de lune and after a night in Sydney we were heading closer to home as we cached south through to Wollongong and Shellharbour before heading up Macquarie Pass to the highway home. After a few stops on the way through the suburbs, we had been working our way along the Princes Highway Puzzle series, collecting a few others if they crossed our path. Managed to find a way in to the three Helensburgh trigs on the way past, so grabbed our snaps before hitting the trail again. TFTT Geocaching Australia Very HappyClan Cerberus

Took a quick search in the grass, interesting object; TFTC!
 
plain sight? Maybe the freshly turned dirt here is GZ??? I have a photo of an old concrete dome near GZ, and a couple of photos of interesting and freshly made points where I parked. But there definitely was nothing in plain sight anywhere near GZ that resembled the photos already taken.

Five towers in a small area, two water towers and three radio towers. That nearly gave me wet pants!

I found the metal lid of the survey marker, that's all there is left of it.

Found today with pjmpjm during our foray down south.
An easy find as the PM cover box is in full view and cannot be missed, take care not to trip over it!
Sadly the name plaque has gone missing but the locating pin is still in place.

Visited this location with rogerw3 and immediately found the old metal hatch a few metres away from the reservoir, with the magic and familiar word 'Survey' stamped on it.

Unfortunately, the name plate inside the top cover was missing. But the crucial location pin is still in place.

You could photograph this one from a distance of about ten metres, while remaining on the grounds of the retirement village.

Tricky one, I was able to get directly to the gate wich has you only 30 meters from the Trig. The trig is on the old watertower, but even after having an ilegal walk around the towers, there is no spot in wich the actual trig is visible.

NO ACCESS - This was over the fence and out of reach as far as I could tell, so probably needs to be archived, but I will leave it for another person to verify first, and they can dhave the honour of archiving it then if inaccessiblity is confirmed.
