After a bit of a late start today I set off to find some more local TPs
This trig is also situated close to town and highly visible
I accessed this via a track coming off the main road and was able to park less than 50m from the trig
A short climb up to the top of the rocky ridge was all that was needed to access the structure
The next destination was a trig which was a bit further out of town and in a less easily accessible area
Roebourne Prison Area Point Samson, WA TP2373
This trig was not what I was expecting
Instead of being on top of the very high nearby hill it was actually at the base of the hill
I drove around trying to find the shortest walking access while convinced that the cords are incorrect as it was showing it at the base of the hill
I parked off the track and set off in the direction of GZ
I soon spotted two star pickets with the markers attached and a bronze disc cemented in the ground nearby
There is no longer any structure here
The next TP on the list for today was a bit of a drive to get to
Weerianna Hill Roebourne, WA TP0786
I found a track from the main road heading roughly in the direction of the TP
Following this for a while it started sending me away from the TP and came to a dead end up a creek
Backtracking, I was able get to within a few hundred metres at the base of a high hill
I parked my vehicle and started up the hillside over loose scree and spinfex following the wallaby trails
The going got steadily more difficult and steeper and took a good while to get to the top
A quick look around revealed a star picket with a marker on it
There was no structure here and I could not locate a bronze disc, just a circle of concrete with the tip of a steel rod poking out next to the star picket
The view from the top of this hill was a spectacular 360 degree panorama
This was my last one for the day with the need to catch up with some chores forcing me to cut the caching day short
