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.
Logs
We couldn't get any closer as a rather busy road was in the way and it was a bit much for the youngest.
The kids got soaked back towards the beach when a wave splashed over the sidewalk. It even got a parked car!
Attended an event nearby and stopped for this quick grab on the way out.
TFTC !!
Mad dash across the road inbetween traffic but a simple photo when at GZ.
A mad rush over the road completed and we were able to get this low level CORS just before heading home.
Thanks

One of the newer high tech trigs, easy to spot, it is right on the edge of the water at the Pilots Station.
