Logs
Spotted this one while at Kurrajong a bit hard to spot
Rated: for Overall Experience
headed out with Outdoornut22 to bag a few quick trigs on a very rainy day but we needed to get out of the house, we really struggled to get a good view of this one, eventually fond a spot that we could see and photograph the top of the vanes

While it was bucketing down with rain today both myself and Sophoutloud needed a good excuse to get out of the house, we plotted some more urban trigs that were close to road ways so we didn't have to spend to much time out in the rain. found this one nice and easy but was very hard to get a good photo as you can't get very close due to the fence. was just able to see the top of the vane to get a clear pic 
I took multiple photographs of this, but the camera kept focusing on the trees, so the trig is there, but out of focus. TFTC.
Tricky to get the photo! Passing by on a failed plant buying expedition.

On an extremely hot sickly day there was not much else to do besides computer or the box so I went for a drive & completed roadside virtual & trigs – this was 1 of them in the greater area.
A nice quick 1 to complete – many thanks

Passing by with the team thhis morning on a quick GA cache run. Ended up pulling over near the vets and spotted the trig sticking up from the further tank. Grabbed our photos and then moved on to our next target.

I wasnt sure if I could find the trig here but managed to park nearby and spotted the top of it between the trees. TFTT
Almost missed this one. On our way home from Bathurst, I had it on our list, and got the idea from the map it was on the Old Bells Line, so turned there, then couldn't find a trig. What's more is the GPS started refusing to show the trigs at all.... Admitting defeat we navigated back to the main road, and spotted it straight away. Tricky to photograph, it is there, behind the white object.

Parked outside the vets. Beautiful day for a drive through the area.

One of two Trig points log on my short round trip drive this afternoon. Parked outside the vets and took my photo from outside the fence
A smart phone is just the go for the job - the rear camera for the target and at the same time the front camera snaps me taking the photo and inserts it as a stamp on the main photo

Grabbed on the way through to Lithgow......no problems and another happy snap was in the bag.

A somewhat challenge to photograph, but it is there.

In the area and this one popped up on the handy app "GCA cacher" so we dropped by for a look. It's not easy to spot from the road but in the car park you can get a shot of the trig.
This one was funny. I entered the coordinates incorrectly into the TomTom, and got taken to a tiny water tank, with no trig visible. Surely this tiny little thing couldn't possibly be it I thought, but it was right on the coordinates.
Then I checked & saw my error. Entered the correct coordinates and about 300m away found the real reservoir with its trig on top
.
When I load my pictures, I'll include the first water tank I found as well as the proper shot .

Found today with pjmpjm. It was with trepidations that we approached this reservoir thinking that the Trig would not be visible. However you can just see the top of the mast and vanes over the railing.
Not much of a photo but still good enough, and a joint FTF to boot.

Joint FTF together with rogerw3.
This typical black reservoir trig one of the relatively rare successes in our long trig hunting expedition north of Richmond. We even found a nice SSM right in front of the two reservoirs.
Thanks to rogerw3 for discovering and publishing this one . . .
