We found these two trig points on a walk up from Spike Milligan's Bridge. We thought it started steep, then we found the random stairs that seemed to just keep going up. After a short breather to find the nearby cache we continued up the path which was somehow even steeper. The cover or roundish sandstone rocks didn't exactly help either.

Luckily the path had levelled off by the time we were getting near to this trig point as the kids had basically reached their limit.

Now it's just time to try and keep our feet under us on the steep descent.

This ones on the water tower a short but hella steep walk up from the rail bridge at Woy Woy.

Found today whilst out on one of our semi-regular school holiday hikes with a bunch of muggle friends made up of families from our geokids' school. Today the route was from Point Clare (via Penang St) along the Milyerra Rd Firetrail to TL SOUTH along the ridge to Woy Woy via the Corrumbine Creek/ Koolewong Firetrails.. a great day and perfect weather for it! I think the vanes have finally disappeared from this trig but could see the mounting pole. I have finally started loading GCA cache GPX files onto my GPSr so I'm hoping to start finding more of them #i4user. TFTC.

Walked up from the Spike Milligan Bridge, woah that's a steep walk! I'm not sure how any vehicle would be able to drive up the track, I figure they'd need to winch a vehicle up, or just drive down from the north. In any case the water tank is easily found, but there's not much left of the trig point (as per photo)

I was on a group walk and this was the third trig for the day. Most of the group weren't "into" trigs so were a bit incredulous when I pointed to the small metal post and said "there it is!". Plus we were getting towards the end of a 21km walk, legs were getting tired and the Woy Woy pub was beckoning.

Found properly today at about 4:30pm with the geodaughter. After an earlier log appeared to have a dubious photo in June the geoson the next day took the geohounds for a walk up to the trig since we almost live beneath it but a bit further along, but it still means walking around the long way. Some time earlier there had been reports of significant vandalism damage so the fact the trig was there we had some doubt. The geoson reported the main part was gone. Anyway today I finally had the chance to get up there as usual the climb is quite taxing with the track being very steep and slippery. The geoson isn't a GCA cacher. Again the geohounds went for a walk and sure enough the trig pole is missing the top half and all that remains is the lower part of the post. Tons of graffiti and holes in the surrounding fence everywhere. Grabbed the required photos Now back home at least it's all down hill now. Some good views can be obtained but need to bash through the bush a bit to find viewing spots.

Quite surprising that this reservoir Trig has not been found before.
From 'Woy Woy' Trig it is only a short uphill walk, but be advised the first half of the climb (not walk!) is quite steep, not sure how any vehicle gets up here on the sandy shifting surface of the track.
Typical reservoir Trig, a steel post with mast and vanes on the edge of the reservoir.
