Found with rogerw3 on a caching day out chasing trigs. The hardest part about this one was finding somewhere to park!
Walked back up the road to where we could see the trig easily. TFTT

Found today with thomo31 while on a trigging day in the area. Easy enough to see the beacon peeking over the top!

Geocaching Australia (GCA) Cache Find Number 1297 - 14326 overall cache finds.
Found while heading home to Canberra today during a work trip up in the Penrith region. While I mainly looked for GC caches, when an easy GCA cache comes along we go for that as well. Trigs are particularly nice to track down and find. I was very happy when they became part of the GCA cache family. Its especially satisfying if you have made a big climb up for one ! I have also now joined dragonZone in Clan Cerberus, so there are more reasons to find those GCA caches. Its interesting to find the many different types of trigs. From the traditional metal legs and vanes, to the concrete base with vanes, to the ones on top of water tanks (especially the red ones !), as well the new CORS type. When you look on a GCA map and see all those hundreds and hundreds of blue 'Z's it shows just how many there are out there. Shame so many are on private property and cannot be accessed at all. So as far as I'm concerned every trig that can be found and photographed is a real bonus !
The trig was quickly 'found'. Piccie taken and posted. Trig on a Hospital !!
Thanks Geocaching Australia !

#GA1258 - 18:45; After collecting a few caches around Moss Vale, Bowral and Berrima, Sol de lune and I headed across the highway into Wollondilly for some trig hunting. Sadly, Warragamba Dam had closed for the day, so we set off further north. This trig was only a short drive from our stop at the church further up the hill. Parked the geomobile and grabbed a quick snap on the way past. TFTT Geocaching Australia

Out with JJCC doing a cache run and stopped by Camden Hospital to find the trig before heading home. We had parked too close and couldn't see it initially, but eventually spotted after a quick walk back up the road along with everything else packed onto the roof.

There it is, up there, squeezed among the other things.

Quite surprising how high up you are at the hospital. A little tricky to get a picture but a bit of walking around did it. TFTT.

Quick shot of the trig on the hospital while heading through. Early morning sun doesn't make for a great photo...but it's ok.

Found with Joolay on a road trip to Penrith. We had a great day grabbing caches but I also had my sight set on a couple of trigs. TFTC

Easily spotted the disc up amongst the various essential radio-antennas etc that are on top with it.
4th trig for today, along with 11 physical caches while down on a Picton work gig.

Had to come down this way for some Saturday overtime, and thought I might as well get a few Camden caches after the job. Seeing as there was *FTF* going on this trig, I included it in the journey. It's readily visible from the surrounding streets, in amongst all the mobile phone antennas.
