Adventist Hospital Mast Wahroonga, New South Wales, Australia

Used to pass by near here on my way to work, twenty years ago.

On a caching run out into the eastern suburbs to get some trigs haven't got to before this was one of the ones we spotted. Photo taken this is taken as part of the 2018 to 2019 Summer Games.

The latest Geocaching Australia game runs from 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST

For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath.

On a caching run with friends collecting some more caches for the current Journey or Destination game currently being run on Geocaching Australia.

Not the first time I've seen one like this.

Last one for the day. Stopped for the shots. Not many options.

Last one for the day. It was just a matter of stopping when there was not traffice behind me.

In the Sydney for the weekend, and with the good wife horsing around at SIEC, there was plenty of time for me gather up a few more trigs in the big smoke. This was the first of the day, and no problems grabbing the photo.

Considering I'm passing a very good view of this trig every day at the moment I thought I'd take a few seconds out of my day to take a photo. Its a very nice view from up here. I can only imagine what it'd be like from the roof.

I have recently moved to the area, and frequently drive past this point. I also run past, but through winter this has generally been too early in the morning to be taking pictures; with the advent of spring I decided to finally get a picture. TFTT!

As mentioned earlier, I don't think that this particular mast was actually on the roof when I had 'paid access' to the roof back in the early 80's. But the other trig would have been, so (@ rogerw3) I have logged that, and have it on my Watch List. Today I was 'in the area' so went further up the road that I used to live on, parked, and walked on up to the appropriate department, and asked for permission to get up close (and personal) with both of the trigs on the roof of the hospital. Not much has changed so far as anchor points for abseiling down from the roof, and I was able to get a good close photo of this trig, before finding the Archived one.
For this one I think the D1/T1 rating is reasonable, as most ('sane') cachers would take their photo from 'ground level', and NOT from the roof level! (Which would be 4/2½)

Well there you go! 'Cruising around' the GCA web site and I see a very familiar place. If only it had been published like 25 years ago
Back then I was basically 'given' a contract to get onto the roof of 'the SAN' and abseil down the front of it multiple times, and get paid for it! (It was actually very dirty and disgusting work, as I had to clear the suction outlets)
Am fairly certain that the particular Mast, photographed by rogerw3 wasn't there then. And there was no regular trig (like on Manning Base Hospital) or I would have certainly taken a photo of it.

Hard to park around here, but pulled over briefly in the No Parking area outside the church to make the photo. Surprising we don't have to work on this hospital.

I was at a bit of a loose end today so on the spur of the moment I decided to take a train (or 2!) and go to Hornsby then the 589 bus to the hospital, spent 10 minutes getting the required photos and got the bus back to Hornsby.
The same bus going back as it turned out and got a funny look from the driver, probably trying to work out what I could have been doing that only needed 10 minutes and then return to Hornsby!

I've been certain for a long time that a trig must lurk up on this building as it's visible for miles around like the Bahai temple. I even took the required photos some twelve months ago in anticipation of this day but I can't remember where they were filed.
Today I thought it would be a good one to get as our combined GC/GCA 2000th find then along comes alfyboy and takes the so called FTF. Well I could backdate the find but that would throw out everything else so I'll let it lie.
Have been here untold times over the years, geodaughter was born here, had my only ever hospital visit here, I work occasionally across the road so it's a spot I know very well.
Today I just snapped the shots while sitting at the lights, not great but will do.

Saw this pop up last night and realised it was on an alternate way to work. Got in the car this morning and drove down the Comenarra Parkway and up to the hospital. Many people getting to work this morning. Managed to pull over and take the photos.

Good to finally beat the Trig Team of pjmpjm and Rowerw3 to a FTF for change
