2FC Tower Prestons, New South Wales, Australia
By Geocaching Australia on 26-Mar-12. Waypoint TP6305

We spotted this passive trig from the highway during our 13 hour bus trip to the Governor Generals House. It is certainly easy to spot from a distance.

Thanks for the trig point listing!

This was a quick stop while i was in the area so i parked near and to a photo. TFTT.

Radio tower / antenna farm.

The 2FC radio mast certainly dominates the skyline and it is easy to see its significance as a trig point. The required photo has been added to the Gallery. Thanks for the cache.

Saw this one from the highway a few times, but this morning I was actually in the neighbourhood and was able to make some good pictures.

Out caching for the day with WaywardWoman. We were doing some caches at the Cutler VC Rest Area. Saw the tower from the oval and double checked past logs that we were looking at the right thing. Took a photo and headed on to do one last cache in this area. TFTT

Out caching with ziggiau on this beautiful Boxing Day. We made the area around Warragamba dam unsafe and had a great time! All the best for 2018 for all the COs!

"Tall towers!" "Most likely a trigpoint. Make a photo and we'all check it out later."

I would never armchair cache, but passenger seat caching, now that's a useful way to pass time.

Easy to spot this one and good pictures can be grabbed along Wonga Rd. TFTT.

Found today with friends doing driving duties. I wanted to get a few more but I was outvoted.

#GA412 - 12:40; I 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. Parked in a spot with clear a view of the tower to get some snaps. 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.

Parked in area with good views of the trig and the photos were soon grabbed.

Cerberus rules here.

Was in the area and drive right past. Could see the tower with the lights coming off it as it was dark. Nice one. TFTT

I parked as close as possible and I took the photo.

I had to head down to a new industrial area at Prestons, and right behind the building was the large ABC transmitter. A bit glad I don't live around there with the radiation levels! So after the job I found a gap between buildings to grab the shot - you can't get too close (luckily) due to the fences.

Something of an adventure this one, got there with pjmpjm just in time for the rain to ease off a little and allow a quick photo of this radio antenna. There are many viewpoints for this one as it does stand out like the proverbial sore thumb.

FTF with rogerw3 in the midst of a rainstorm.

However, we managed to get our photos from the roadside.

The tower is designated a passive trig by the NSW Department of Lands.
