A trig point (also known as a Trigometric Station) typically consist 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.

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 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.

This one was a little trickier to spot. went down the bottom but it was out of sight there, So back up the stairs and along the dam wall to where the fence is. Was able to see it from there and get a few photos. TFTT

My sincerest apologies for the photo. I was shaking with fear as I took it. I knew where it was from seeing Lucky1955's photo, but I could not go near the edge of that railing. I have my fears you know.

Whilst visiting the dam site with a view of locating the recently published trig points at the dam I spied this trig point which wasn't published. After consultation with trig guru rogerw3 I have now published.
Visible access to a number of trigs listed around Warragamba dam is only available on weekends and public holidays when pedestrian access is allowed to the wall.

Aside from chasing the trigs there is a lot of history here around the building of the dam well worth a visit
