Headed back in the National Park to try and log a few more of the recently published trigs. I'd seen this one on old parish maps and determined some coords but when rogerw3 published it I decided to use his. Mine were only about 30 metres out which may have got us there.

Parking at the start of the Waratah Track we noted the sign mentioned great view from the trig but they were talking about Waratah trig of course. It's 1000m as the crow flies from the start of the track, we got this down to 310 metres before heading north for a bushbash. No track is apparent but you can get through patches of prickly native plants and onto rock outcrops fairly regularly. We worked our way to the top of the rock and followed the ridge ducking in and out following rocks until we reached GZ.

We were greeted by an 'unpiled' trig. The basic cairn was there and the post in the middle. Also the vanes were there but on the ground. However most of the larger cairn stones had been pulled off the pile and rolled down. It's a little too remote for vandals so I assume this was intentional. One of the rusting vanes has 'Arden' etched into it and there's some whitefella rock graffiti dating back to 1939 nearby. Sad to see it like this but good fund to get here and 'rediscover' it.

We spotted the track on to Waratah trig to the west so bushbashed down to it rather than retrace our steps. It wasn't easy and was a relief to get back on the fire trail. Off to Waratah!
