Awesome...3 trigs in the one location
 
23-Dec-21
Quick detour through Wyong after some dinosaur hunting and the kids couldn't resist a hill with three trigs. It was raining when we arrived so the daughter decided to stay in the car. The tower was spotted and we set of on a scramble up a steep and muddy hill.
Back at the car the rain had eased off and we spotted the nice set of wooden stairs leading to the top. That would have been easier!

Second one for the evening. All good as long as they don't lock the gate on me. TFTT Geocaching Australia ClappingClan CerberusClan Cerberus

We were down here for some Wizard of Oz antics, and a triple trig hill couldn't not be visited!

After all the rain that we have had around Sydney over the last few days it has been good to have a bit of nice weather today. Decided on a drive up the Central Coast & Lake Macquarie after some of the trigs along the way where there are a few clumps around. In the end I got to 25 trigs after that there was a long drive and I ended up getting home at about 8pm.
The tenth one I looked for was Wyong Tower
Thanks for the trig took the required photo

quick trig in the dark

Stopped here on the way to the Ozgeomuster event in Morriset to find the three trigs. It was late and it was dark but we managed!

A scramble up and a partial slid down. TFTC.

Stopped by at the start of a shorter road trip, to Tarana, for some more Trigs and Waymarks.
Got a photo of the 'main trig', and the Tower, and the Old Trig drill hole.

On the way to Queensland for a couple of weeks to visit relos and once in the car park here my wife was quite happy to site in the car while I headed up the short sharp climb to grab these trigs. Took my time and watched the footings but I was soon at top. Some neat views from up there....and I soon had a couple of photo's, as well as the required photo's of the trigs.

Once all three were in the bag, it was back to the car and off our on travels again.

I am in Wyong for a conference and spotted the three trigs up here and had to try and find a way to grab them. I managed to get out in the 12-seater bus today and make my way up to grab them. Nice little walk to the top of the hill and grabbed a photo of this tower first. TFTT
 
A relatively quick find with teamMerlin on a short visit to Wyong.

A quick visit to Wyong to drop off some family members at the railway. Grabbed a few of the local trigs before heading back to basecamp. Nice easy find after a quick run up the hill.

Came by to find the nearby geocaching.com puzzle cache, took interest of the .au kind when I saw the concrete pedestal trig point. Cheers all!

Came up here to grab a nearby GC puzzle cache ... I'll take a 2 for 1 deal any day so even though I'm not really into this GeoOz set up yet, I knew enough to check out the trig while I was here.

Found at 5:22pm. I can't believe I had to climb up the hill again! After doing Wyong Trig I set off to do a GC. When that was completed. I looked to see what else I could do and then discovered that there were two other TP caches at Wyong Trig. So I went back after deliberating should I or not. Since I was here I decided I had to. I had so walked past this last time after looking at it. Attached photo. I am here in the dark now.

I almost got left by my companion on this short but steep climb. Geriatric he may be, but even his sore knee could not slow him down.

I keep telling myself never again will I not let Spikeymikey in front of me on an an uphill ascent, but oh no, somehow he always manages to get in front, and boys and girls, let me tell you it's not a pretty sight! Nor sound for that matter, I have no idea where most of the noises come from, but in saying that, as we got to the top we were having a reasonably vocal chat regarding Malcolm Naden and how with out caching we didn't come across him and bugger me we turn around a rock and here is this fella camped under a boulder, and he wasn't too pleased to see us. Then a few metres past that we found the contents of what appeared to be a ladies purse, which didn't really make us feel any more or less comfortable because our main two priorities at this stage were getting the deposit we just made in our undies when we found the guy out and disposed of, and how we were going to get back down and which of us was going to push the other one in front first to die at his hands......where was I, damn now I don't know anything else about the cache, other than it was uncomfortable (and somewhat smelly by this stage)but we did take photo's. We weren't totally rude on our way down, we did say gidday to him as we scooted as quickly as we could carrying all the rocks and tree branches we could to use as weapons.

Caching with TheHeadChef.
Just next to Wyong trig.
Access via Crystal Crescent to make an easier climb.
 
18-Sep-12
An easy find as this one is visible from quite a distance, just follow Crystal Crescent to the Wyong Hill Reserve and you are there. Several tracks will take you up to the tower with no problem.
