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.

Closed areas: Ingar campground closed
Ingar campground and Ingar Road are closed to vehicle access due to private property building works. The closure is indefinite because it relates to access through the private property. No opening date can be advised. NPWS apologises for any inconvenience caused.
Ingar Road and Ingar campground can still be accessed by walkers and cyclists.
Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information, call the NPWS Blue Mountains Heritage Centre on 02 4787 8877 or visit the NSW National Parks safety page for park safety guidelines.
Ingar campground is in the Wentworth Falls area of Blue Mountains National Park. There's no vehicle access to this campground at this time. To get there:
Turn off the Great Western Highway at Wentworth Falls at Tableland Road, Drive for 1.6km, then turn left onto Elizabeth Drive. The Ingar fire trail starts at the end of Queen Elizabeth Drive. You'll need to park on Queen Elizabeth Drive and walk or cycle around 9.5km along Ingar trail, taking the left fork near the end of the trail.
So that’s the story and I’m not happy about it. Another camp ground lost to vehicles close to Sydney.
Back to trig it was nice to finally complete this trig – thanks again
Hadn't been out this was before so was cool to have a look.....even in the rain. Grabbed both trigs and were soon on our way.
Great find, entirely due to the research of rogerw3.
Wonderful views to forever from up high in Wentworth Falls.
Four thumbs up because of the adventure and perspective and FTF.
