CORS station, collecting geodetic data from GNSS (Continually Operating Reference Stations).

CORSnet-NSW is a precise positioning service that gives users access to fast and accurate positioning and guidance solutions across NSW. In recent years, precise positioning and guidance systems have emerged as useful tools across a variety of applications such as:

• Surveying

• Agriculture

• Construction

• Emergency services

• Mining

• Scientific research

• Asset management

CORSnet-NSW uses the latest Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology to provide an accurate spatial reference network for NSW and support the growing number of precise positioning and guidance applications throughout the State.

How does it work?

The service is delivered by a network of permanent GNSS receivers – known as Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) – that are strategically located across NSW. The CORSnet-NSW network continuously observes and corrects satellite navigation signals in order to achieve international standard, high accuracy positioning data for NSW. The data is streamed to users via a wireless internet connection.

Didn't manage to find all the GCA caches in Lithgow this visit but got this one. We must be used to square town blocks.. getting to a place in Lithgow that looked straightforward sometimes wasn't. TFTC GCA.

Sophoutloud and I needed an excuse to get out of the house so we decided to drive 'Bells Line' to Lithgow and grab a few trigs on the way through. We managed to grab 13 across the day to bump up our trig count significantly. we had a great day out and most of the trigs we found were in great conditions, some even looked like they had a new coat of paint. Another CORS unit ticked off

Collecting all the trigs in the area today. Well all that we have time for today. Drove past this one then decided to park up and continue the search on foot. Then quickly had the unit in our sights! Good to collect the units in council building in the weekends because the car park is empty! We definitely came on the right day!

While in Lithgow this morning we located the Lithgow CORS. The required photo was taken and has been added to the Gallery. Thanks for the cache.

Cruising through Lithgow towards Orange, we were too pressed for time for cache searching, but did get a pair of trigs.... CORS are cool - a bit like searching for a cache sometimes....

After getting the nearby trig at the Church I walked across to look for this. A quick find and photo taken, and then headed for home . TFTT

#GA2375 - 18:25; Day two of the summer sojourn in the Blue Mountains with the geohoney and today a trip to Jenolan Caves was the order of business. Made our way down to the caves from Leura after breakfast in Katoomba on the way through. I was surprised at the speed limits as we made our way along the Great Western Highway, but they were certainly appropriate given the nature of the roads. Ended up behind a tourist on the Jenolan Caves Road, which was quite interesting when they overtook two cars stopped at a traffic control stop before they saw the traffic controller Doh

Anyway, we managed to pass safely before the steep descent started Dancing

After an interesting tour of the Orient Cave, we headed towards Oberon, stopped by the dam to grab the three trigs there, along with another engineering marker before picking up the local CORS and another trig before setting sail for Lithgow. This one took a bit of circling around, but after parking close to GZ, found it in the usual place on the council building. TFTT Geocaching Australia Very Happy

After getting my car back on the road, with the help of NRMA, I stopped in Lithgow to take a few photos of waymarks and trigs.
Stopped here @ 1740 to take a photo of the CORS 'device' sitting up on the roof of the Council building.

1st stop for the day and no problems grabbing the photo. Amazing that it hasn't been logged in over 12 months. Nice bonus.

This is a little space ship compared too other CORS I've seen. A quick walk down the lane had it spotted and photographed

Knowing well what a CORS looks like I came down this lane and got the shot very quickly with no cars about.

It really doesn't seem like it's been over 6 months since my DNF on this trig. I was driving past today with Canary when I remembered I still had this one left unfound in Lithgow, so we made a small detour on our way to lunch.

Wandered in a fortunate direction down the laneway, a contrast indeed from the majestic trig around the corner.

How on earth did I manage to DNF a CORS station???

Actually, now that I've looked at Roger's photos, I realise that I did see it, I just didn't recognise it, as it looks different to other CORS trigs I've seen.

At the time I blamed my caching mojo being lost after DNFing all the nearby micros Smile

One of 22 finds today, as rogerw3 and I travlled throughout the Oberon area, chasing both trigs and ordinary GC caches.

This one I found just before dropping off rogerw3 in Clwydd.

It has taken me a long time to get around to finding this Trig of the CORS variety.
It is only recently that the information needed was found and the exact position and the type of mount was found.
Today I can confirm that it is indeed here although it uses a different antenna than expected.
