Gallery of log for Euro

07-May-11
Today we were out on West Head Road making the best use of the new National Parks pass and had to go and look for this trig. I'd spotted it on Google Earth after seeing it on old maps but hadn't published it. Rogerw3 published a heap of trigs recently and so we had uploaded the coords for this one.
Parked at the start of The Basin Track and walked the 400 metres to the amazing Aboriginal carvings, one of the few sets that are publicised and open to the public these days. From there it was another 900 metres to the trig. Where the track takes a sharp bend to the left to go to The Basin we continued straight on up the hill. A bit of bushbashing but once we reached the rocks we just turned right and eventually spotted the vanes of the trig peeking over the vegetation. It was a nice big old cairn with a large square post with big old galvanised iron vanes. You could even see the name 'Euro' etched into one vane.
There were various bolts in the ground and some whitefella carvings from the 40s and 60s here and there including "Sid and Ethel Darke" and S.M. Middleton.
Also some numbers which may relate to the trig. Absolutely amazing views - you can see that Bahai Temple from anywhere! Took our photos and then headed over to the nearby GC cache, which needs maintenance.
