Forgot to bring the SLR with the zoom, so the photo from the phone leaves much for the imagination. Not easy to spot...and it likes to hide amongst the trees.

Found with rogerw3 on a caching day chasing trigs. After the car GPS got confused and missed the turn we doubled back and headed closer to GZ. We were sure we were in the right place, and scanned the area many times but couldnt see anything. Just about to leave, I looked again and there it was! Very rusty, so it blends in well. Happy to find it, so took its picture and headed on TFTT

Found today with thomo31 while on a trigging day in the area. Very tricky to spot this one, in fact I looked past it 3 times until thomo31 pointed it out to me, it blends in the trees and foliage so well as to be almost invisible.

Well I saw a couple of movables in Wollondilly – dragonZone so I figured I do a short afternoon quick punch down to this area & pick these movables up. As I was traveling south down the highway & getting closer to the turnoff the havens opened up & got a little wet picking up the movables. Luckily on the way home this was the 2nd trig & it was nice & dry so the shots were taken without the camera getting wet – thanks again

#GA1365 - 14:25; Doing the 'Tour de Wollondilly' with Sol de lune and andrewbt to collect a few trigs and other bits and pieces. After completing what we could of our mission to Warragamba Dam, it was time to head towards home. Headed along a couple of back roads from the Razorback and past some country mansions along the way. I took a bit of time before I could see the trig against the back drop of trees, but got a snap or two in the end. TFTC Geocaching Australia
Unfortunately on private property nowadays, but clearly visible from the public road. Stil you are about 250 m away and then my gps camera struggles. Anybody with a proper camera is able to make great pictures here.
