Found in the middle of a roundabout while out riding today. For once I had my camera with me so I could actually log a find.

S34° 14.317' E150° 58.607'
Well this was an unexpected find while admiring the view from a lookout vantage on the Illawarra escarpment. While bushwalking with Spindoc Bob, we stopped here on the way to find the Train Spotting cache. Fantastic views from here. Terrain was fairly easy with good road and tracks to get here but probably a 5km return walk from the pacific highway so I guess a 3.5 terrain?
Did I mention the view is awesome?

This was found next to Gulgong Trig. Surprisingly it has no registration number so I'm not sure if they placed it here and then changed their mind and put a Trig Point here instead.

Pretty easy to get to with a road right to the spot. In fact, you could park on top of it by mistake!

only about 100m from work on the corner of Miller street and McClaren streets North Sydney.

it's right in the walkway for the pedestrian crossing,hence the nice shiney parts where people walk over it.

PTC(?!) SSM #77009. Parramatta Rd near Marsh St, Clyde.

Difficulty: 1/1.

(I haven't been able to work out what PTC stands for, but the one reference I found in a piece of legislation indicates it might mean something along the lines of 'public transport corridor'. I've noticed State Rail Authority branded survey marks are also triangular.)

NSW State Survey Mark, not numbered for whatever reason. I can only speculate that as it is right next to the Bell Trig Station someone changed their mind and decided to put a Geodetic Station on that spot instead and abandoned the marker, so it was never registered and has no number.
Amazing view from up there.

This marker lies upon the NSW/SA border just south of Scotia Sanctuary (NSW).

Collected this one on a border run with one of the rangers at the sanctuary to Renmark for supplies. Given that outsiders are not permitted into this area and access is via sandy roads, i'd say terrain of 4.

The plug and marker were actually out of the ground, must have been dug up by a buldozer clearing a firebreak. Was an interesting find to see the plug!

A great spot in good company.

It's funny how things turn out. With a weekend in the mountains, I thought I would look out for a survey mark, having only stumbled across one before (and no camera handy). To my amazement I found one within a few metres of cache number three that evening - Feel the Surge, with great views overlooking Lake Jindabyne. The marker is set into rock and a terrain level of three is set for the nearby cache. That's Rex Trex in the photo! TFTC!

This SSM: 96373, has been used in my multi geocache - Wingham Waterside Waltz - GC172A9, to provide a clue to where the cache is placed. It is at the top of the hill in Lobban St, Wingham, set into the concrete kerb on the western side of the road.

As SkAttA BrAiNs and I were wandering around between caches, we started following a rather uncommon bird at snail's pace, trying to work out what it was. By the time it flew off, we were standing right at this survey mark (#59261) on Wells St, Newtown. The co-ords my GPSr gave me stick this one on the footpath outside #39, but it is actually out the front of #51. Interestingly, this short section of road is NOT covered by Google Street View.

This went in, like the rest of this particular series about 2-3 years ago, when there was some more house plans and development going through Greater Taree City Council. As we walked around Tinonee my wife and I were surprised to see how many were installed.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 124 of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia. I dropped the GeoChallenger in Condell Park to get a new catalytic converter fitted and looked at the GPS to see if there were any caches nearby. Nearest was GCK4D3 Plane Talk by Sky Dog, 2.82 CroKs away, but that would have been about 5 Km each way going around Bankstown Airport. GCQQG2 Salt Pan Creek Cycleway Scenic Stroll by Geo_Gadget_Guy was the next closest at 2.85 CroKs, with no great obstructions in the way, and it turned out to be just 3.35 Km each way.

After reaching GZ and making an easy find I was returning to the muffler shop and with about 670 metres to go I spotted mark number 146772 right at my feet as I was about to cross Mons Street on Eldridge Road Bankstown. My find No 927, Terrain definitely 1.

This is #153448 which is just on the edge of the road on Balfour Rd near Todman Ave, Kensington. D2 T1 - a little bit hard to take an averaged reading and leave your GPSr on the road for a photo opportunity as cars drive by. Sure got a few strange looks, too.

After mouthing off about the ease in which I spot these, it became apparent over the next few weeks that the two I remember clearly are nowhere near where I travel, and since then I've passed another half dozen when not equipped with either camera, GPSr or even a pen to write a reminder to myself.

Thus, I am pleased to report my first loggable find - #103620 on the road edge of Terry Rd near Marlow Ave, Denistone - a street I've walked up many times, but always on the other side until now. D1 T1 normally, but if you're coming from the train station and it's boiling hot, freezing cold or you're carrying a school backpack (which accounts for 80% of the time I've walked this way) then it's D1 T4.

Found this survey marker whilst logging a cache within 5m of the marker itself. Didn't take a photo of my GPS with the marker, so I hope the owner of this cache doesn't delete the log on me. The gallery of photos shows the view from the location though. Pretty spectacular really. The location is the Nelson Bay lookout, just as you drive into Nelson Bay on the left. The marker number is #8720.
