There was no problem spotting this trig. I parked the car near the busy road and took a walk to here. TFTC.

This 1 was been on the radar for a while now – after placing a couple of caches came here to do the shortish walk to this 1 or as I say 2 for the $ of 1 visit – it’s nice to log 2 off trigs in 1 visit. Was going to do this 1 after work during the week BUT in afternoon peak period it’s a little difficult to pull of this road – no won is patient anymore – slow down to pull over & slow some people down – you will get a blast of the past .
Now back to the trigs – loved the walk up here – a nearby gate would be used in busy times for the shooting range, A big thanks.

I did the short but steep walk up from Elizabeth Drive. Saw a red bellied black snake cross the path a few metres in front of me, but he slithered out of the way.
I could see the tall one from the road but was surprised to see the other one. TFTT

Hunting a cache with Park in the name I popped in here after work and bagged 2 finds. Short little hike up the hill, can't miss it!

In the area today to log some Trigs and this was the second for today. Easy walk up the access Rd from Elizabeth Dr to the Comm's Towers and the water reservoir.

#GA423 - 16:25; suggested to Sol de lune some time back that we should do a day run to Sydney to pick up some of the GCA trigs and caches on offer. A couple of weeks ago we identified an opportunity timing wise and so it was that we made our way north today, collecting a total of 32 trigs for the day. Like the Grand Old Duke of York and his men, we marched up to the top of the hill where we bagged two for the price of one! TFTC Geocaching Australia

A day trip planned with LuckyL10n to start grabbing a few trigs in different areas of Sydney. Hit Campbelltown, Liverpool, Fairfield and Bankstown today...and grabbed a total of 32. Back in a couple of months for another go.
Like others, we parked at the bottom and walked up. No problems here and the photos were soon grabbed.
Cerberus will rule here.

Locked gate along Elizabeth Drive but an easy uphill walk on a winter's mild afternoon ... easily sighted, worth the walk up the hill to also capture the reservoir trig.

I have been here for another Trig and other caches. A quick walk and the photo was taken.
Yesterday I was up the much taller tower over in Western Sydney Regional Park. Today I pulled up at the bottom to find some of the rangers obviously reporting a pile of dumped rubbish. Once they moved on I started the walk up the hill (shame I didn't have the keys for this one but it's Telstra). Plenty of cows on the way up, the fence didn't seem an effective barrier as they crossed through it at will. Then the happy snap!
Trig number 4 for today's Trig hunt with pjmpjm.
This communication tower is easy to spot from a long way away, and you can't miss it walking up the track toward it and the reservoir up the hill.
It is a shame that not all comm towers are Trigs, otherwise we could have hundreds!

Visible from the road, but we had to walk up the driveway in any case, in order to log Cecil Park (Reservoir) next door.
This was the 4th trig in our day of trig hunting. And we were FTF!
Easy to photograph . . .
