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.

We had a great morning out here exploring the area. Make sure you go into the visitors centre, what a great kid friendly set up they have. The geokiddies loved it and we enjoyed learning about the history of this place.
Thanks for the trig Geocaching Australia.

The first of several snapped today.
What a treat to get up close and personal with the dam, keep in mind you can only access this area on weekends.
Found this one while on a trig-hunting expedition with rogerw3 and white mushroom.
Thanks to Yurt for tipping us off!
Found some more similar trigs nearby.
Lots of fun to visit the dam after many, many years.
