Logs
Second trig of the day on a bushwalk traversing Dharug NP with my club. What a great old trig and so close to the fire trail. From here we continued on the fire trail before taking a track to Mill Creek via the Group 6 engravings. Fantastic day in the bush.
Rated: for Overall Experience
After a long hike from the Mill Creek picnic area, we found this lovely big cairn 
This is a great trig if you feel like having a good bushwalk. I parked on Wisemans Ferry Road around 6.15am (I left home at 4.30am).
It's a 16.7km walk to Foody and back along a fire trail. The first 1km is steep uphill as you quickly gain 200m of elevation. From there on it is relatively level - it would probably be good on a mountain bike (I don't own one). There is a gate on the track so you can't get there with a 4WD - although a trail bike passed me at one point so maybe the other end of the trail at Oyster Shell Road isn't gated?
There are some views over the Hawkesbury and lots of bushy outlooks. The bush is that lovely open style. Saw a wallaby at close range and heard a few lyrebirds as well as plenty of other birds.
The trig is a nice big cairn - I guess constructed in the 1880s like other similar trigs in northern Sydney. The mast is gone but the vanes are stacked neatly on top of the cairn.
Found at 8:09 am.
