No sheep were harmed whilst locating this trig. In fact, there are no sheep within cooee of the trig.

A small group of 3 triggers set off from Putty Valley Road after an early start driving from northern Sydney. The walk to Sheep Trig was along old logging trails, around 11kms there and 11kms back. Surprisingly, the climb from car to trig was 400 metres but the gradient is so gradual that we didn't really notice it. For the most part the logging track is in good condition but it gets a bit vague 1km from the trig and the last 500m to the trig is a matter of finding the best way up and through the bush that you can. Fortunately my colleagues were very good at this. Of course, it started raining as we got to 500m from the trig.

Once at the top of the hill there is a clearing created at some time in the past by the loggers. The trig is in the clearing. A relatively small cairn, maybe a metre tall, and no sign of mast or vanes.

We took our photos, scouted around a bit, and then started the return walk.

In addition to finding the trig we visited a little known cave with aboriginal rock art that was inspiring.
