Out for a Sunday drive with Just a cacher and decided to drop in and grab a cache or two as we passed by.

A quick find here today and thanks for the Trig.
 
Found this test line and its trig stations. I liked how you could see all 4 from the first one, or is it the last one. But I still stopped beside each one up the hill.

There are new gutters here now, making pulling off harder. Luckily the road was quiet today. I treated this one as a drive by. TFTC.

Parked opposite the first of the 4 in the test line and then walked to the next three. Then back to the car. All up it took about 20 minutes. Better than then the stop start in moving the car....

Geocaching Australia Cache (GCA cache) find Number 1544 (plus 14083 Geocaching [GC] Caches for a Grand Total of 15627 Cache Finds !

In the continuing quest to a streak of 90 days with a GCA Cache find (soon to extend to be a quest for 180 day streak - I'm not even thinking about the 365 challenge yet ! Lol) I picked out this Trig Test Line in Nowra for attention. I was down this way just for the day on a work trip and so scouted around for my daily GCA find. Seeing this Test Line - the fourth one I've done this year) made me very happy. After finishing my work duties I grabbed a few GC caches around the place to complete a daily calendar requirement I have, then drove north to this Test Line (after grabbing the nearby TB Hotel). This was the fourth of the four in the Test Line. I parked nearby and walked to all four - couldn't be bothered moving the car each time - plus with nearly 7 hours of driving time today a walk would do me good - and made the 'find' and took the required piccies. Four down none to go... Time to head home !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

PS - I'm thinking of changing my caching name (again) - how does GeeGeeEff sound ?? Laughing

On my way to Culburra today so thought these would be a quick find. Not hard to find as they can be seen from Flinders Road.

Love a good line.

On a wet and windy day out I was stopped by the locals and asked what I was doing trapesing through the bush on such a miserable day...luckily I am a trained surveyor so was able to talk them down from whatever they were thinking I was up to.

#GA982 - 08:30; In Nowra for a meeting and had a bit of time before kick off, so I headed out to log this test line, which had been published since my last visit. I headed along Flinders Road and then drove back along to visit the trigs from the right side of the road. All were easily accessed and the required snaps taken.

On the way to Jarvis Bay for some diving I saw these in the bush by the road. Four quick stops and I was back on my way.

Thanks

I went back to Flinders Road to walk up to this Testline trig, as it seemed that recent rains had created unwanted puddles interfering with direct access. Not too much traffic on a Sunday anyway.
Nowra Testline PM 58026 Found @ 1204, 10/1/2015, tho it could be seen for a little while as I approached it.
 
28-Nov-15
Noticed one of these the other day so pulled over today & could see all four which I then published. Best to drive along Flinders Road & pull over but be very careful as traffic rips along.
