Logs
The trig "Hunt" is coded as TS10012D - destroyed, or dismantled.
I knew that I had found and photographed this back in 1983, and when I had done a filter of trigs still to find from Crosslands on this weekend the trig 'Hunt' showed up, but I didn't note anything more than the coordinates.
I was sure that I had already found "Dural" TS1912R, and yes, rephotographed back in 2013.
Nothing showing on the SIX Maps site for a passive trig mark on the transmitter tower, which others seem to have taken for this defunct trig.
Down it goes for the count!

A trig next to a real trig, how bizarre. Surely one of them must be redundant! Made the short detour to this while caching in the area, snapped with the iPhone/GPS.
I think I already took this photo of these two trigs!?! But only one was listed then!?!
A quick drive-by to work, past this trig most days, quick pic and go.

Final Trig and a Two for 1 at that! Snapped a photo just before dark then picked up Zhaoy from shopping before heading home.
Cheers!

Came past today to collect a few very close Trigs to home. Snapped the other trig many months ago and now needed the one next to it. I actually took the photo of the wrong one at first. But then realised my booboo! Done and Done!

I often admire the unusual looking trig on the water tower as we pass here regularly. Logged that one a long time ago but today I took the chance to snap a photo of this one. I also had a bit of a look around for a PM cover or some remnant of the original trig in this area that I've seen on old maps called 'Hunt'. Nothing came to light but with accurate coords that might be different. It may of course be in the grounds of the water tower or long gone I guess.
Another trig find with pjmpjm, while we had been here some time ago to log the 'Dural Res' Trig we were not aware at the time that the telecom tower was also a Passive Trig Point.
No problem finding this one or the reservoir next to it.

3TF with rogerw3 while on a trig hunting expedition to the Dural area.
Long ago I logged the nearby reservoir trig, but didn't know at that time that the tower was also registered with the NSW Department of Lands as a passive trig.
Many thanks to rogerw3 for the research and publication.
