Out caching with WaywardWoman I came upon the 4 Wollongong Test Line trigs. Sadly with my injured ankle still in a support "boot", I wasnt able to get to them all but was able to take photos. TFTT

In town for the Gong Mega and today a flash mob at the lighthouse, so I spent the day geocaching in Wollongong. Four for the price of one here and a chance to stretch my legs. TFTC.

Now based at Cataract Park we headed out today with Tassie Trekkers and stopped to photograph this trig. The required photo has been added to the gallery. At least the fog had lifted and the rain had ceased. TFTT

Started grabbing the required photos for this series of trigs from the other end so this one was the last taken.
Quite strange that from the one we did first you could only see 2 others but from this one you could line up all 4.
Right behind a caravan park too!
Thanks.

#GA656 - 15:15; 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 the last one, after which we headed back to the geomobile to head for Bellambi TFTC Geocaching Australia

Grabbed with LuckyL10n while in the area grabbing the others. No problems finding these one....obviously.

On to the last of the 4 lined-up Test Line trigs (well, that is what I would certainly call them). Just beside the 'houses'. At least their fence line should be well positioned.

Happened across these while caching in the area. Didn't realise there was a 4th one, will have to come back for it sometime!
Caught the train up today to grab these 4. Had also planned to look for a cache but decided to waymark instead. Quite warm.
We could not believe our luck when when found four trig points likes ducks in a row. The required photos for this one have been added to the Gallery.
These Permanent Marks/Trigs are easy to find just make your way the Fair Meadow Surf Life Saving Club car park, Elliott's Rd. They can all been seen in a row if you stand at one end. TFTC.

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
