Logs
We came past this trig on an extended walk around Rumbalara. We started at the top and followed the power lines down. Not sure I would recommend this approach as it is very steep and washed out. Down to street level and back up to the reservoir for a shot before finding the much easier track behind the reservoir which led us around the mountain and then back up the top along some newish metal stairs.
After the Gosford trig DNF nearby which is only about 200m away from this one (as the crow flies), I jumped in the car and drove down right around to the end of Jarrett St via Springfield and East Gozzie to park just as far away lol but this time to the north and then walked up the access trail to this trig. Trig looks ok from down here. Obviously no access to public to this one so got the closest pic I could from below. TFTC and nice walk.

Up on the Central Coast catching up with family at Lisarow. After lunch headed to the beach collecting some GC caches as well as some trigs along the way. Caught up with some of our regular caching crew who were also close by this afternoon. Our third trig of the day.

we had to drive around the mountain to get this one.

At first we tried it from above and realised that it was going to require a drive back down and around.

After finding oodles of trigs at sea level around Lake Macquarie it was back to uphill trigs around Gosford, almost like home! A good walk uphill to snap the required photo of the trig atop the water tank. TFTT

One of the many trigs we found whilst exploring this area. Bit of a hike up the hill to snap this one on the tank.

Been to this tower before, and never noticed the trig pole on top (or if I did I didn't think or know to look it up on GCA).
So it's a good day for a stroll. Walked up from corner Etna / Jarrett Streets. TFTT!

Found 5:22pm.with the geoson. I had come out here to the top of the mountain in the past only to find this was not easy to reach that way nor cold I see the top due to trees. So today came out here to find the trig. Came up a fairly direct route from nearby street and grabbed the required photos.

Walked up the hill after parking at Etna and Jarrett. A steep climb which we made steeper by bushbashing unnecessarily. Easy to spot on the graffitied tower.

After the 'President' Trig I wanted to get to this one, but I came at it from below and got a nice shot of the Trig Station right off the edge of the water reservoir on top of the stairway. This one if of course in great condition, little chance of vandals getting to it.

Easily spotted from a nearby road (Henry Parry Drive), and also easily spotted from Rumbalara Reserve (above water tower) which is where the photo here was taken from.
