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.

#GA2774 - 09:20; 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. This one seems to have had some new bits added. TFTT Geocaching Australia

Stopped off while doing the nearby Princess Highway series to grab all three trigs.
There are a couple of towers here, so I took a picture of both. Crossing the gateway is forbidden and I was asked to go away.
There appears some confusion as to the precise GZ for this, judging by the variety of photo's logged by others; thus suspect most are incorrect?
Consider: could possibly coordinates of Helensburgh's "Tower" and "Roof PLG" require swapping around?
Nonetheless I chose to photograph this tower because appeared to host a possible CORS survey unit.

The radiation sign on the ground near the fence and the sign with the walking person crossed out encouraged me to take my shot from the gate. 
Found on a v.hot day on the way back from Sydney. Picked up a Movable so win win win win today.

Five towers in a small area, two water towers and three radio towers. That nearly gave me wet pants!
This one is tricky. At the coordinates is a small shed, without any real antennas on it. But there are three towers around it which makes me believe it has been moved around a little in the last couple of years.

Spotted today with pjmpjm on our foray down south.
Easy to spot from a distance the array has changed recently with some functions moved to the other nearby tower.

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.
