I followed all the advice from the previous logs and came up from the road back from the entrance to the properties. Alas my photo from my phone is unusable, so I have borrowed one. I'll be back for others in the area somne day and will fix that error.

Today we visited Tuross Head and whilst there, we located the CORS antenna. As the antenna was on private property, we took photos from the boundary fence. Two photos have been added: Mrs y'stassie on the fence line with the CORS antenna behind; and a closer view of the CORS antenna. Thanks Geocaching Australia for the cache.

GCA 1916. Found during a South Coast caching meander this weekend with specimenX [a GCA Muggle Smile ]

Not too many opportunities for GCA caches where we went this weekend, but still managed a nice selection of Trigs and Virtuals. This was the first CORS found - and an impressive one to boot !!

TFTC !!

left the car at the bottom and did the walk up. Spied the CORS and photo taken. A lovely spot up on the top, you can see why they want to keep it private.

I took the slightly sneaky access, but it was close to the driveway and I was able to get my picture. Thanks.

Found on our Jindabyne/Narooma trip. Despite the description saying otherwise, we drove up anyway. We probably shouldn't have, but there was no problem. A car (which looked local) drove past and didn't get made. Took a quick photo, then we had to scram. Nice views from up here. TFTC GCA!

I was down here a while ago, just logging old ones I did a bit ago. If you want evidence of me being here, look at the cache I made or the ones I found, I just don't have any photos Sad

What better way to end a long driving and caching day than with a FTF Very Happy

My 3rd CORS Trig and first time I beat Roger to one Razz

He will have trouble getting to this one on public transport hehe

I have edited the cache page with some additional details. While the cache is accessible on foot, the road is private and closed to non-resident vehicles. So please park at the base of the hill and enjoy the short steep walk up. Lots of great views and farm animals along the way Wink
