Visiting friends in Orange just after Christmas we popped up to the busy top of the hill for a few cheeky trigs and the views.

Exploring the area on our way home from Forbes. A beautiful Spring morning to enjoy the view. I was wondering which towers were which, and MrT thought the two with red stripes on them were the likely ones. CBN8 is the one on the left (I think) TFTT

Wow a quick drive up from the (closed) campground where I car camped in the carpark to grab 3 trigs. Very chilly overnight- big frost but a gorgeous sunny morning. TFTT Geocaching Australia. Really worth it for the fantastic views.

Gee, I thought we were hard, venturing up here this morning in 6 degrees, rain and whiteout fog/cloud. It seems our colleagues before us take that honour! What a spot, we'll have to return when we can see though! We couldn't see the towers (or the road) from the trig point, we just followed the GPS....

On an Orange surrounds trig hunt with rogerw3 in dismal Wintery conditions ...
A gate closed due to snow, and a companion that sees no hurdle stands between a trig, it was for a park and walk to the top. It was not overly steep, but goodness it was cold, and it was for a few hundred metres of snow covered roadway to traverse to near the top - and then it was truly cold in the rain driven wind. There be better days to view this trig, and the attached photo is from rogerw3, as my camera, indeed myself, could not cope from the conditions.

Found today with whitemushroom on our tour of some local Trigs. Almost no visibility and freezing wind!

Three in one. Nice. Finally escaped Dubbo and decided to camp at the Federal Falls camping ground last night. Picked up three trigs when I arrived. Just missed the sunset. 
What an amazing view from up here, what a location – may not be in the middle of winter with high winds but today was very good – completed all 3 off trigs up here

Hey the top of Mount Canobolas is just loaded with trig-point happiness 
Three trigs in one picture
There you go !!
The tower on the left, just right of the real trig-point, is the passive trig-point in question

And another trig point on my afternoon's excursion.

I didn't realise at first that these were Trig Points! This is the one just to the right of Geokid7
Was up here for the views, caches and trig just before new year and I suspected that these towers were trigs. You can see these from well before you get to Bathurst so they serve a purpose for long range navigation. Easier to spot than the little plinth of 'Canobolas' trig nearby. Two for the price of one in this photo.
