When I had a chance I ducked out and grabbed a few GCA's & Waymarks.
Haven't visited Wagga since I was based here in the RAAF in 1986.
Thanks for the Cache.

After finding the other Trig-Points in Wagga and a little bit more shopping, I made my to this one just before leaving Wagga. Another quick find. TFTTP
Found while on a caching run with Sol de Lune and LuckyL10n in the Wagga Wagga region. While I mainly looked for GC caches, when an easy GCA cache comes along we go for that as well. Trigs are particularly nice to track down and find. I was very happy when they became part of the GCA cache family. Its especially satisfying if you have made a big climb up for one ! I have also now joined dragonZone in Clan Cerberus, so there are more reasons to find those GCA caches. Its interesting to find the many different types of trigs. From the traditional metal legs and vanes, to the concrete base with vanes, to the ones on top of water tanks (especially the red ones !), as well the new CORS type. When you look on a GCA map and see all those hundreds and hundreds of blue 'Z's it shows just how many there are out there. Shame so many are on private property and cannot be accessed at all. So as far as I'm concerned every trig that can be found and photographed is a real bonus !
The trig was quickly 'found'. Piccie taken and posted. Another nice CORS added to the list.
Thanks Geocaching Australia !
Thanks for the CORS anyway.....
