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 precisepositioning 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.

A good thing too that rogerw3 was there to guide a confuddled 'mushroom as the long day and a glaring sun gave odd delusions.
I wish I had looked at the lat log's photo to know what exactly to point my camera at. Only got a vet general photo in an attempt to capture what I thought was all 3, sorry.
3/6 to make Bathurst region Griffin-Gold again.
Thanks

Facinating things these CORS !

Another CORS find in the Bathurst area, together with rogerw3.
We found a good place in a car park for our photos.
This trig is placed on top of a concrete pillar previously known as "Mulley ECC1" and is on the roof of the lands Department building, previously the "Mapping Authority".
An easy find from the back of the building.
