A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar, resembling a navigation beacon. It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself.
Trig points are generally located at the top of hills or points of prominence in the landscape. Many provide unique views and challenges, with some being difficult to get to.
These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.

A roundabout way to Mile Rd - just off the highway eventually, rather than from the far end which may have been interesting ... a couple of gates to traverse, and a cattle herd behind the fence gathering, for a long distance pic of the trig barely seen on the hill.
