Logs
This is the first time that we have found a flag pole on a former private residence designated as an official trig point. Two photos have been added to the Gallery. Thanks for the cache.
On a caching run with friends collecting some more caches for the current Journey or Destination game currently being run on Geocaching Australia.

It was hard to get a good photo of this one. So many trees

Came today to see the last day of the criket and do some trigs. Looks like it is going to be all trigs!

Found with Zhaoy on a night walk around Centennial Park hunting Pikachu. Found many of the buggers too! Hard to photograph in the low light but got there in the end. Another Geosportz catagory off the list!

We came to the city from the mountains to pick up a Beatles book I bought of Gumtree. The book was worth the trip, but the trigs and traditionals made it moreso.
#GA776 - 17:20; Sol de lune and I had decided that double points month made a flying day trip to Sydney to grab some more trigs and perhaps a GeGnome or two a worthwhile adventure. An itinerary was hastily prepared and today was to be the day. We had completed a good part of the prepared itinerary, but it had been a bit ambitious, so we decided to abandon it at this stage and collect as many caches in the Willoughby and North Sydney areas before heading back across the bridge for a few more southside on the way home. We had bagged a few trigs, along with a small band of GeGnomes we were now headed towards home. Once back over the bridge, we collected three of the trigs on our original itinerary for the return journey, but with time slipping away, decided this should be the last for this trip. A close park was found and snaps taken before we hit the road for home after an eventful and productive run around Sydney. TFTC Geocaching Australia

I decided on a quick wander after visiting a family member at St Vincents. This one popped up on the radar, so a quick selfie was required. Now that is an interesting trig.

I will get a few tricks caches as I travel around today,
so this is number 2 between jobs.
This is a great old house .

An unusual trig, but an easy find after doing some work at the cafe in the park. Cheers.
This was a nice close cache for the Marathon event today. I decided to come very first thing in the morning as the rising sun would make a lovely picture on the building - which it did. But the steady stream of peak-hour cars in both directions made things a bit difficult for my photo!
Found it today, 2 out of 3 so far not too bad. Unusual, as it is a private house but possibly heritage listed (I have not checked on this).
