Best trig trip so far. I am staying at the nearby UNSW Research Station. I wondered about access to this trig and emailed them. They said it was on their property and I was welcome to go to it, as long as I called in first to let them know I was there. One thing led to another and I was allowed to stay at the station overnight. There was a fee involved.
I arrived at the Station to find no one around. I found out later that COVID has hit this place and most of the researchers are in various cottages isolating.
So I simply went up the ridge to the trig. You can see it from the station and I knew the terrain was not to hard.. all I needed was my bike, some water and a decent hat and veil to stop the flies getting in my face.
It was the middle of the day and the temp was about 32 degrees. Warm yes, but it was only a 4km trip. After less than 200m it was apparent that the mountain bike was useless. Too rocky.
The walk was fine for this 57 year old with knees that can quit at any moment. I kept my head down and was careful where I put each step.
I suspected there was a CORS up there but could not see anything on google images. I was happy to find that it was there, and so was there the old trig position. Three for the price of one.
This is bucket list stuff for me. Well worth the planning, the organising, the driving and the walking. The best views of the outback you could hope to see.
