CORS Trig, 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.

Quick snap whilst passing through town. I planned ahead where I needed too stop to gran a few points and Griffin-ness as part of dragonZone.
[I can't recall if I won the territory for Griffin or not, but I hope so. Haha.
It always seems suspect to be taking photos of public buildings.
In some other countries you would be arrested for it!!
This CORS station is easy to see from the street over the main entrance of the local council building.
