Another one that seems rather impossible to miss.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this TrigPoint here today.

Today I cycled from Chatswood to the Sydney CBD, main goal was to do the North Sydney Cycleways Series by Zalgariath, the rest being logged is collateral damage (I mean finds Smile

Another station I'm not watching.

Driving into the city, over the Harbour Bridge and back again, caching and finding trigs. This was photographed in the failing light. TFTC.

Parked nearby to grab a new GCA cache and on the walk back to the car found myself with a nice view of it, so stopped to grab a selfie. Certainly stands out.. Thanks Geocaching Australia.

#GA769 - 16:00; 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. After picking up a couple of the nearby trigs, along with a small band of GeGnomes, I grabbed a snap of this, our second TV tower of the afternoon. These ones are a bit hard to miss aren't they!

Never got too close to the this tower in the course of my travels around North Sydney, but spotted it from a distance. Have driven past it hundreds and hundreds of times in the course of nearly 40 years.

I pulled over in the breakdown bay heading west and snapped a quick picture. Very easy, safe and quick to do on a motorbike. Also puts you up close and personal with this huge tower.

I have taken the photos from Incinerator cache at the park here, I was a little annoyed with 1’s self Doh because I didn’t take my camera while I walked from Still the One? Cache to Gumnut Quotes cache, at the park here you have a full view of the tower, I defiantly need to purchase a camera with a better zoom on it for these photo shots, thanks.

After finding Geolady gnome in the bushes nearby, I grabbed a pic of the TV tower. I could have got a block closer - bu then the pic would have been way to hard to get, besides, I liked the wysteria(?) i the foreground.

I was about to drop my car off at the shop, when I saw a few quick caches. After grabbing them, saw the tower/Trig, so took some photos on my GPSr. Done Very Happy

I always thought this could be a Trig Point, and after some research so it proved to be, I had to come next door anyway to pick up a Gnome so why not log this Trig.
