Had to pick up an expensive car part so to a justify the drive / purchase I completed some trigs in the greater area – well this 1 was a little hard but got there in the end – many trees in the way so this is the best shots – thanks again

out caching with WaywardWoman today. we tried to get on to this road from Campbelltown Road but the road is blocked. We were heading to another cache on the other side and were able to take a detour and then drove right up to it. Photo taken and back on track for the GC caches we were looking for! TFTT
A quick find during an afternoon trig hunt...thankfully the path wasn't blocked on our visit today.

All the gates were open and it allowed us to get up close and personal to this structure.

Managed to get as close as I could without actually trespassing. Also provided opportunity for some cow photos.

#GA1297 - 11:00; Day 3 of a caching mission in and around Sydney with Sol de lune. After a bit of triggin' around along the Appin Road, we hit suburbia. After an unsuccessful attempt on a previous visit, the gates were open today and we were able to get close enough to grab a shot of the trig. It was nice to finally get this one of the 'to do' list.

No gates closed today....
In the area with LuckyL10n and after driving through the area we soon came upon the tower. Photos were snapped and we were back out the gate and off to the next one.....

Gates closed on the weekend...so no chance of getting in that way.
Will need to check on other approaches.

I droe around as there was no signs say anymore than no parking that I saw, and took a photo from nearby.
Unfortunately this one can only be seen from a distance as it is on School grounds so no unauthorized entry is possible.
However the reservoir can be seen and photographed. Interestingly the Trig is not as you would expect the tallest mast, remember these are recent additions and originally the top was bare.
In fact the Trig is a length of water pipe and is the shortest of all the masts, you can see it on the photo it is the short pipe next to the central tallest mast.

Unfortunately pjmpjm and I could not get close enough to even see the reservoir this Trig is on. We were defeated by the falling darkness, rain and fences.
It would seem that this is on the Agricultural High School grounds, but this will need further investigation.

Despite trying two different entrances, rogerw3 and I failed to get near this reservoir on our afternoon trig hunting expedition.
With light failing on a rainy late afternoon, we finally gave up.
It's still uncertain if this trig is visible outside of private property.
We'll investigate further . . .
