Logs
Walking past, I looked up and thought, "Looks like a trig", and it is. A fairly deserted area but the two dogs who quietly watched me take pics, decided to switch to psycho mode as I left.

Got my new car muddied getting to this one today. I guess it had to happen at some point, as I got it to take me geocaching.

(Slightly late logging - 2/12/16) While in Sydney to get some Waymarks, Trigs, and a couple of geocaches en-route, I stopped by the Belrose area, and took a photo of the Microwave Tower. Great, one more.
Oh, and it is 'Unloved'.

I parked nearby and quickly found the tower. Took my snaps and then set off for an 18km walk through Garigal National Park. Found at 7:23 am.
It has been a morning for odd trigs! Came through the gate and some massive puddles to park below and snap a photo before work

Time to start the caching year off with a few finds, and a few trigs were part of the loop. Drove through the mysterious gates (the sign says to close them, maybe I should have and added a lock?). Parked at the bottom of the driveway out of sight of the house to grab the photos.
It has taken me a long time to get here, but today was it for the triple Belrose, Oxford Falls and Frenchs Forest Trigs.
A long day walking around the suburbs but quite satisfying.
No problem finding this one, the track takes you right up to it.

Was in the area today and headed down Ralston Ave past the mysterious gates onto the rough dirt road past the substation then turned into a driveway which led straight to the tower, and a private house! I simply did a three point turn, stopped, took my photos and left before anyone came out of the house.
Easy, not that exciting but it's a find.
