First try at Geocaching! A local landmark and a great chance to grab a bowl of hot chips at the bowling club!

It was a strange day today when I left home it was sunny then about Central it started to rain. By the time I got to Circular Quay it was pouring but by the time got onto the fairy it had stopped and didn't rain the rest of the day. While on the fairy while we were heading to an event on Cockatoo Island this trig was spotted. Took the required photo. Thanks

Only stop during a 3 day trip to Sydney to see the new born grandson. Headed out this way before visiting hours and soon had the required photo. dragonZone number 250, so worth the time and effort to get here.

Another trig done and dusted.......

Grabbed this one today while visiting Balmain this morning. Great looking church with quite a contrast in the two church buildings, one brick the other sandstone.
The old sandstone church was built around 1850 and the the new brick church built in 1906-1907. TFTC.

#GA221 - 15:00; I had just bagged my last previously unfound GC cache in this area and decided to grab this one on my way back to Glebe Island to collect the geohoney and friend from a home show. There was no parking available as the Church was in use, so I looked at things from a different angle out the window of the car, hoping there wouldn't be any traffic coming behind me before I got the snap. Luck was on my side and I was soon on my way after achieving my goal. TFTC Geocaching Australia Smile

Found a free park right under this trig... literally! Heading out to a 30th Bday party in Balmain... Bloody meters go until 10pm which was rubbish! >:( Pretty busy on a Saturday evening but still enough light to see the top.

First time geocaching so tried something close to home. Beautiful church that I have never noticed before. Looked great with the sun behind it. Also took me through some great back streets of Balmain. Worth the walk.

Second and last Trig for the day. I do remember looking at this lovely Church many years ago, before Geocaching even existed.
Not surprised to find that it is a Passive Trig Point as in its day it would have dominated the landscape in Balmain.
