Great view from up here one of the better places for them to put a trig stands out with the colour of the vanes. Thanks for bringing me to this location. Clan Phoenix

I think that this is probably the most spectacular trig I have ever visited. Not my favourite, as some older style ones I have got to took a great deal of effort. This just had the view!

Out with fitzy_1965 to take advantage of the bonus points on offer this week.

Having solved most of the Princes Highway Puzzles, they were our main target today. All were found quickly & easily unless otherwise mentioned.

Made a few detours for trigs too. Certainly a long walk to pick up these four trigs....all so different. Amazing views from here! Weirdly, we had to wait for a kid to negotiate back up the path with his bike....OMG, why did he take his bike down here??

So glad that his trig is well looked after given the memory of it.

GCA 2,077. Found during a run down the Princes Highway with minniek today.

Having solved 21 out of 22 existing puzzles in the Princes Highway Puzzle Series we headed out for a run today to grab as many as we could for a last day grab of bonus dZ points. Next find of the day. A bonus Trig along the way. And what a View !!

TFTC !!

Wow! The views are spectacular and the memorial plaque poignant. I want a trig like this named after me when I die.

Found at 12.51pm.

On a 'gong escarpment trig road trip with rogerw3.

With rogerw3 in the lead, the 'mushroom held faith as a descending bushbash approach was made to this well-hidden gem ... the final metres are a challenge.

Goodness though, there is but a 'OMG' factor after you take the narrow step to reach the platform high on the escarpment above the Scarborough pub.* To be there in a February sunshine on a windless day is for a not to be forgotten moment. ClappingClappingClappingVery HappyVery HappyVery Happy

For the 'mushroom, marking an Aged milestone, this trig made for a remarkable and memorable day ... enough to brave the 'edge' for a to be treasured photo.

* Leave the kids elsewhere safe as this is no place for complacency!

Out on a Trig hunt with Whitemushroom.
Definitely the pick of the day, the year even. What amazing views from this rock mind you the 100+ meter drop on 3 sides demand respect not advised if wet or windy!
Nonetheless the vista is worth the trouble of getting there.

Wow....fantastic spot.

Easy to walk down the main trail, a couple of turns and then just the last 50 odd metres down the footpad to the ledge where the trig is. Stunning views...just stay away from the edge.

*Recommended*

You can see it through the branches, but I didn't dare to go closer by to get a better one. Maybe a next person can be braver than what I am, but in the mean time I prefer to stay alive Smile

Quite an easy one to find as the communication towers can be seen from some distance. Once parked just follow the track east to the end then you will see a track to the left, follow it to the power pole. There is a rough track to the trig to your right. As Wilbert67 advises this one is not fenced. Fantastic views from here, great spot.

One of the best Trigs around! To get there keep following the road, even when it turns away from were your GPS is pointing and go down a little track of about 15 meters at the end. Watch out there is a 100+ drop just 1 meter from the Trig and this one is not fenced!
