There was a BIG reason to go caching today
The dragons are having a May Madness party. A 2 times dragonZone points bonus will be on offer for all valid Geocaching Australia dragonZone caches found, except moveables, for the period Sat 11 – Sun 19 May.
Well I figured I’ll find as many trigs in 1 day as posable & that was 29 of them.
So, for me this was a BIG day of trigging.
No 14 of 29 – parked on the side of the road & took the shots – took photos of all towers as I figured I will sort it out on logging trig - many thanks

Whilst on a weekend away with fitzy_1965, we drove past when fitzy thought this may have been a trig. Sure enough it is!

GCA 1935. Found this one during a caching run through this area with minniek.
We were driving along and when we saw this impressive structure I suggested that it might be a passive trig. Checking the website and we were spot on - awesome !

In the general area chasing a variety of caches and followed the Navman's guidance for a place to view. Dipping behind a hill but enough does show (from where I stopped).

Mudgee trip 2013. These towers were obscured by fog, but you can sort of make them out. Thanks
