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
After a short bush bash, the black disk appeared above the surrounding shrubs
A roadside park and ponder of the thick scrub that lay between rogerw3 and this trig was to be no deterrent ... though the way chosen was the 'scenic route' ... a solid based sentinel standing proud within the encroaching bushland, it is well worth the effort to make the way there, indeed a 'track' discovered made for an easier exit.
Well worth the effort, with a fallen UHF aerial close to it.
A quick drive to near GZ - then an easy bush bash to the Trig. A long time between visits for this one. Nice.
TFTC !!
Great fun, forgot the camera
No views from this trig anymore?
