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. This one was pretty easy to get to along the power trail and we were able to drive right up to it, track was a bit muddy with some deepish muddy holes so would recommend walking in here if you don't have a 4wd. trig is in pretty good condition. Had to grab the nice easy mystery that is close by whilst we were here too.

Out collecting trigs againg on another beautiful summer day! Decided to jump over the other side of the Hawkesbury than our usual hunting ground. So here we are. In pretty good condition no vain but it still had its name plaque. And this trig gets a bonus like from me because I didn’t have to walk up and hills!!

Well I call this 2 for the price of one visit – 2 for the $ of 1 visit. Completed the trig and did the short walk to complete the Unknown or Mystery cache.
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.

Joolay stopped the car so we could grab this trig on our trip along the Hawkesbury.
Heading home from Wisemans Ferry and decided to do the nearby multi. Parked 100m away and headed to the multi first then to this trig on the way back to the car. Spotted it & took the required photo. TFTC
#GA2335 - 11:45; Day two of the Macquarie mayhem cache hunt with Sol de lune and andrewbt. After a big day one with 56 out 59 finds, we were optimistic about another successful day two. A few cold ones, a few logs and a few more claims for the States of the Nation game set the scene for a good night's sleep and a spring in our step as we packed up and hit the trail again today. Hope the CO's are enjoying all the Karma points rolling in as we get through our logs 
. A short ferry ride and we made it across the river before parking the geomobile and heading off on foot to collect a solved puzzle before moving on to this trig. TFTC Geocaching Australia

Another trig grabbed on our run around the Wilberforce area. No problems even on this side of the ferry crossing.

While nearby for a puzzle cache continued on to this trig it was nice that I could see it from a bit of distance so couldn't miss it. Took the photos of the plaque an a picture of the pedestal. Thanks for the trig

A big day around Sackville collecting 6xGC and 18xGCA caches. This was the first for the day. Wasn't planning on it but saw it popup on route and couldn't resist.

Joint morning find with JJCC in the hunt for a 12+ month unloved cache. Parking about 80 metres away on the side of the road we made our way towards GZ and spotted the concrete pillar in the distance. In the end a nice easy find was made. Trig appears to be in good condition and well worth the visit. Followed the track on the way out.

Travelled a cross the Ferry this morning before the heat today to pick this Trig with Team Merlin and Geo dog in toe.
To claim a nearby Trig not found for 12 months for the Summer Scavenger Series 2016
Parked near by with a short walk into the bush and found a nice track on our way out to the car.

My 3rd Trig find on a trip to Wisemans Ferry and back. Located a short walk up an incline from the road

Final of my three finds on this sunny Sunday afternoon. Up the hill from the road along a track the trig plinth was visible from a distance. Vanes and mast missing but otherwise a good find with the old cairn nearby and the original vanes on the ground a few metres away as described by rogerw3 and pjmpjm. A good find.

What a great trig, it is always a joy to find these relics in good condition.

Last Trig found today with pjmpjm, however this one was the pick of the day.
The concrete pedestal was found after a short walk through the bush, the mast and vanes have been long gone, but it is in great condition with the name plaque still intact.
But right next to it the remains of the original cairn are still there in a perfect circle. We decided to have a quick look around to see if anything could be found and what a surprise when pjmpjm found the vanes from the cairn lying on the ground with a stump of mast still attached.
We checked the vanes for marking but none were found and after photos they were returned to the position we found them.

Another joint FTF trig for rogerw3 and me.
This ancient TS, about 85 metres off River Road, was perhaps our favourite find during an afternoon of trig hunting. The mast and vanes were gone, but the side name plaque was still in place and in good shape.
Nearby were the partly scattered rocky remains of the original cairn, making a nice circle. This is always fun to see next to a 'new' trig station.
But making our day was the eventual discovery, a few metres away in a clump of bush, of the old vanes, dating from the time of the rock cairn. They were quite rusty and somewhat bent, with only the burnt stub of a post attached. Nevertheless, it was an excellent find and we inspected the vanes closely to see if they were marked in some way. But no, there were no painted or engraved letters or numbers to be seen.
A fitting conclusion to our long day!
Thanks to rogerw3 for tracking down these long-lost coordinates.
'Four Thumbs Up' for a memorable historical experience.
