Logs
a great and sunny day to get out and do a bit of exploring somewhere new Soph and I went a round about way to get to town and bagged 3 trigs and a mystery today. pretty close to the main road and there is good parking on the other side of the road. after a short bush bash from the road we found the remains of the depiled trig. bit sad to see them all broken up and not replaced also quite upsetting to see the amount of random trash strewn in the bush.

Off on a fine day of adventuring with Outdoornut22. The aim of today was to collect a couple of trigs and that we did. this one was in interesting condition not much left of the rock cairn that was once there. But it was still obvisually the spot. like previous logs suggest there were some interesting blue arrows painted on the rock not to sure what significance they were. alll the same it was a quick find just a short stroll/ bush bash off the road to find it.

Stopped by to nab this trig with Shankspony after a day near Maroota.

not a lot to see of this trig unfortunately, and a bit of rubbish up there - gas bottles etc. Otherwise would've been a nice spot. Happy to log for minimum effort

Did the short walk from main road to this one, found 3 off blue arrows painted on the rock face pointing to this trig location. I found the stick in hole, I just cleaned up the area of stick.
Also, today I wanted to find this trig for the Journey or Destination - Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
1.Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
2.Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
3.Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
4.Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
5.Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.
A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills, Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache), Traditional, TrigPoint, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia, The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced, The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period, The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more), The geocache is one of the following types:, Moveable, Traditional, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.
So, A BIG thanks for the trig, I must say a very interesting one and the location of it.

Last stop for the day which included Wiseman's Ferry, St Albans and Sackville. Great parking spot across the road and then a 30m walk through light scrub. A bit disappointed with what I found - not having previously looked at the log photos. Found a few blue arrows pointing to the hole in which someone had placed a stick. Pretty much depiled with a basic rock circle surrounding the blue hole

Out with Team Merlin and found this Trig.

A short walk through light bush up to the elevated section of rock. The pile of rocks found by lucky1955 in November last year has now been scattered with painted arrows located all over the nearby rocks pointed to the hole in the ground that make "the spot".

A short scrabble through light bush to a circle of recent painted arrows to the rubble rock pile. There did not seem much point in seeking the pin in the scattered remnants.

2nd trig point visited today on a trip to Wisemans Ferry and back. GZ accurate for the stone rubble of what was the trig point

Yep, just a circle of rocks....couldn't even see/find the vanes today.
All a bit sad really....

One of a few caches I did on an afternoon stationed near Wiseman's Ferry on a Family holiday.
Did a run of trigs in the area I hadn't found before now. This was the first, an intriguing name but not much trig left, just a circle of stones after a short bushwalk on a sunny warm Sunday afternoon.

Came over for some caches and a Trig or 2. Pulled up and walked over to GZ. Found piles of rocks, so just started taking photos. Figure it's one of these....hehehe...

The only difficulty I had in locating this old trig was stopping in the right spot. I overshot by 3km because I was looking for Wheeny Rd, which at best is a dirt track. Like those beforeme I made the 40m walk from the road to the remains of the trig base, which was still reasonably intact.

A nice find with pjmpjm on our Trig hunt today. A short bush bash from the road soon had us on the rocks and after a short search the remains of this cairn were found.
only the bottom layer of stone in a nice circle remain but it is unmistakable, no mast or vanes are to be found.
An easy find if you know what to look for.

Joint FTF with rogerw3 while on a major trig hunting expedition in the area northwest of Sydney.
We had to traverse about 40 metres of bush after parking roadside on Pitt Town Road, but found the ruins of the old rock cairn easily enough.
Nothing remained of the post or vanes, but the care taken in the construction of the cairn was evident in the nicely shaped round circle that was still visible in places.
An extra Thumbs Up for the work of the stone mason so long ago.
