With my ankle still in a support boot, I was happy this trig was right at the end of the car park and easy for me to do. TFTT

#GA654 - 15:10; Sol de lune and I had discussed a wild trig hunt in the Illawarra quite a while ago and today was the day we tried to bring home the bacon. We had collected a few on the way down the mountain and in to Kiama, before heading north for a DNF in Shellharbour then on to the main section of the Tour de Illawarra. After a bit of a tour around the CBD, we headed out a bit for a nice string of four trigs all within walking distance of each other. This was number two Clapping TFTC Geocaching Australia Very HappyClan Cerberus

As I headed back to the car from PM58004 I saw this one, which I had gone in the wrong direction in the hope of finding Embarassed
Down in Wollongong for the Brandon Park CITO I thought I would get a few trigs as well. Took some photos, then jogged to the next one.

A quick selfie before the daughter fell from the sky. Interesting trig!

Some really nice ones in a row. Reason they are not on GCA is because they were but taken down as not being real trig's. Still I think they are worth a visit as well
