Visited today whilst on the way to TCMF2020. This is my first ever day solely trig hunting (ie no picking up trigs whilst geocaching). This CORS was pretty easy to spot. Last trig for today. More to find in Tamworth later in the week. TFTC!

#GA2983 - 15:50; Heading north for a week's holiday with the geohoney and geograndson and passing through some new territory, so a few cache stops are in order. After a stop in Singleton, it was on to Scone for another CORS stop. A nice quick find and snap as we passed through the town. TFTT Geocaching Australia Very HappyClan Cerberus

On our way back into town after spending the day up at Burning Mountain and dropped off to photograph the only trig in Scone. Parking just outside the Police Station, we walked over the road and spotted the saucer shaped CORS unit on approach. A nice quick find and after our snaps we headed off to grab the nearby GC caches.

Our first visit to Scone and this was the first cache we grabbed here. Managed to get a park very close to the council building. Took the photo and then noticed a muggle council worker watching us. I can understand why he was curious as to why we would be taking a photo here.
Thanks.

Passing through so grabbed a photo of a typical CORS.

Another trig while on a road trip to the Burning Mountain.
Easy enough to see the CORS

Was in Scone and went for a walk to find this one. Not hard to spot after you've seen a few of them. Always seem to be on council buildings. Wonder why some places have them and some don't.
