three visits in 3 years. I never had the nerve to cross over the fence...until others had done it. Thanx for doing that HansJJ.

Found with rogerw3 on a caching day out chasing trigs. After parking at the end of the road we walked up the grassy area to the end. A short distraction by a rusty car that was begging to be photographed, then found a way to GZ through the scrub. A very well hidden trig. TFTT

Found today with thomo31 while on a trigging day in the area. A bit tricky to get to but not hard. Spotting it in the trees is the challenge. There are remnants of the vanes on the ground and some bits still attached to the top.

As I was caching in the larger area & placing my ICEM’s this trig came up as unfound so after closer looking on google mapping I figured I have a closer look & see what happens on the ground. Mount Hercules Road comes to a dead end as it turns into Robert Place. This is where I parked the car & did the walk between the properties. It seams the road used to or was once a track to the end or parallel with the trig. So about 85 metres out there is a very old fence that has fallen down in places & looks like this area hasn’t been used in many a year. So, I did the short walk through the trees / bushes to trig. As the photos show this trig is swallowed up by the surrounding bushes / trees & yes it looks to be not Inspected since January 6, 1981. Unable to find any markings for this trig at GZ. photos tell the story.
