Gallery of log for LITTLE BOOMER ST915
Four months ago I had taken a walk along Marion Bay Beach to find a trig point, but was unable to find it so continued along to the end of the beach and beyond and was lucky to find another one.
So after a long walk I drove to Boomer Bay to find this trig point. I walked out along the beach and continued up onto the ridge and found one red star picket before finding the other one at GZ. After taking some photos and enjoying the scenery and having a bit of a rest as I was a bit tired I walked back to the car and went home.
Back at the computer I researched the trig and found that there was a brass disc at GZ that I didn’t see while I was there so thought I would go back and find it.
Well, all of that was over four months ago and today I needed to find some caches so I could get another piece of a fictitious map so I could get another souvenir to go on my GeoCaching profile that no will see.
I headed off down to Sloping Main and White Beach to find the ones around there that I hadn’t found before. On the way I made a detour to Boomer Bay to have another go at finding this trig.
I parked at the same spot and walked along the beach before heading across the marshes towards the hillock that hides the trig. As I got onto the other beach a herd of cows were running along the beach back towards the road, they did make a noise and I’m glad they weren’t running towards me.
I headed back up the band and along the little ridge and once again I found the first red star picket before continuing on to find the second one, I can still remember taking photos at this point. I didn’t have to look very hard today to find the brass disc in a familiar concrete block, and cannot believe I didn’t see it on my last trip. I think on my last trip I had but my back pack on top of it as I got out the camera to take a photo of the picket.
I spent a little time cleaning the disc with some bracken ferns and grass before getting a photo of it.
On the way back to the car I took some more photos of the bay I did notice that there wasn’t as much bird life around today maybe the cows had scared them off.
It is nice to have finally properly found this trig and looking forward to the next adventure.
As it's been over for months since I published this trig and no one else has been to find it I going to claim a *FTF* on it.
