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.

Thanks for the trig
Next Trig on fitzy's list - another one from the road !
A weekend run up through the Oberon, Bathurst and Orange regions to tackle a number of puzzle series, lots of trads, plus a number of trigs as well. Although there were a number of DNFs, in all the caches were nicely placed with good coords. Glorious weather certainly added to a very fun weekend. An early departure with a few quick stops along the way saw us soon at Oberon to start the campaign in ernest. Once that area was cleaned up we headed north to Bathurst and Orange. Driving around the back roads we came to this one. Another trig in the distance shot. Once near the trig of course it was a quick stop for the required photos, admired the views, then it was off to the next one. Photo of the trig attached.
Another nice trig to add to the collection. Really enjoy finding these in all sorts of odd places, including the new CORS type which seem to be popping up in every country town plus the big cities.
TFTC !!
Set well back onto private property, Greenslopes can be seen from off Icely Road particularly near the quarry dam. Vanes and mast intact on the usual plinth.
This is on private property and not accessible but is easily seen from the road.
