Sugarloaf CH3 TV West Wallsend, New South Wales, Australia
By Geocaching Australia on 21-Aug-11. Waypoint TP5992

Came up to check out the view after doing a spot of caching nearby

Enjoying Australia Day lunch up Mt Sugarloaf and couldn't resist logging a few finds while we were here.
These towers are massive. Definitely visible from a long way off.

My first time up Sugarloaf, lured here by 3 trigs, a virtual cache and 2 AL waypoints ... well worth the breath taking climb to the top.

On a read trip with Aquilus1, dty73 and Tankengine. A quick detourto get to this one. Thank you for the cache!

found on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning

early morning visit

I joined a trip to Maitland with Aquilus1, dty73, Tankengine, Barb2e, Kitty Katch & Joolay. The weekends main game was to do the dogs head series, but along the way we did some old caches around Sydney and did as many Maitland caches as time allowed. The return journey was via some old caches and some challenges that may or may not be met one day.

Thanks

Great location with some amazing views. This afternoon, there were some people up in that tower. I think they were painting, as there was a bucket of something being winched up close to the top.

I knew there were 3 Geocaching Australia trigs up here, but couldn't get the website working properly on my iPhone today, so thought "3 GCA caches, 3 big towers, no worries" however I realise now that one of the GCA trigs is a nice pedestal with a great view (and not a tower). Oh well it gives me an excuse to come back up to this lovely spot. TFTTC!

Came down to Newcastle to see my sister Terra Roam finish her walk around Australia. As it was a family thing, I gave priority to my family instead of geocaching. My parents and brother and his family kept asking me if I was going to find any geocaches while there. I kept having to say no, but told them each time we passed one or were within a short walking distance of one. what made it even harder was the amount of time spent waiting. Terra was to meet people at the shorten end of Stockton Beach at 3, Cross the harbour at 4, rach the finish line at Nobby's Beach at 5, and then finish with a vegan BBQ at 6. So many hours of standing around waiting with so many geocaches and trigs nearby. Urgh! haha.

So, I waited till on my way home to find 3 trigs in one, thinking it would be like a park and grab, but one of the 3 needed a walk in the dark.

But at least I still got 3 GCA finds. This was one if them.

One of the many trigs we found whilst exploring this area.

Many thanks Geocaching Australia for publishing this cache for our enjoyment and adding to our geocaching experience.

What a great view from here. After finding lots of trigs around the lake, it was nice to find this one on a hill. The required photo has been added to the gallery. TFTT

Awesome location. TFTC

Found while completing the Geotrek for the Oz Geomuster.

I was confused by which tower was which, so all towers included here to cover the problem. TFTC.

On the way to Queensland for a couple of weeks to visit relos and once in the car park here my wife was quite happy to check out the views while I grabbed the required photo's. Soon had the photo's snapped and was then heading back down the road to the head a bit further north.

Great views and well worth the short detour....

While up doing some caches in the local area. Specifically the old school cache we had parked just below the 3 trigs here. After walking around the lower and middle layers decided to do the top level. On the way up took the photo of this trig. Thanks for the trig.

Spotted two of the trigs up here from down in the lowlands whilst doing a cache run. Made our way up the mountain for an old school GC cache and grabbed the three trigs whilst up here. This was the first of the three.

GrimRaider and I made our way up to the top of Sugarloaf on the way home from Nelson Bay today. We have travelled past many times over the years and it was great to stop in for the views from up here. Cool antennas - tftt

Found both towers on sugarloaf on a recent walk in the area

Found while caching in the area.

1938 Rather dark, so photo not great. Had been here a few times over the years, and only on logging Great Sugarloaf TP did I realise that there were other TPs around the mountain. So on coming back to get a couple of caches in the area I got a photo of this one as well.

Glad I didn't have to actually climb these towers to get the photo!!

Magnificent views from up here - and a few caches too

Woo hoo, what a fantastic view on a perfect spring late afternoon. Lots of nearby caches and trigs on Mt Sugarloaf.
