Out caching with WaywardWoman in the Wollongong area, 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. Very sad seeing all the graffiti on this trig. 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

Had to walk across the sodden grass and through some muddy car wheel tracks to get close to this one.
Did wonder why this was the only one of the 4 to have been targeted by vandals.
A couple of nearby muggles were too busy playing with their drone to take any notice of the strange person [me] here taking photos of a trig marker.
Thanks.
 
another find in the dark - getting harder to find because It is dark.

#GA655 - 15:12; 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 three, where I also managed to get a nice photo of a tandem parachute pairing who were about to land on the oval next door Clapping TFTC Geocaching Australia Very HappyClan Cerberus

Caught the train up today to grab these 4. Had also planned to look for a cache but decided to waymark instead. Quite warm.

While in the Wollongong area geocaching I thought I had better deal with these ones.
Job done!

A quick selfie after 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
