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.

Logs
Here is the original log for the other three I the group:
Stopped at the dam for a break on our drive between Kanangra Boyd and Abercrombie River National Parks. We actually found four of these here. The one near the carpark and three along the creek. The fourth one is up the hill a bit and behind the trees, so you can only see it from the pathway on top of the dam wall.
