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.

Well that’s a cool CORS. Great view of it from the street. Captured this one on our way to Bathurst for the weekend. Nice to have another one collected and another shot in battleship!
Oh so wet, but I guess the locals are happy. We left home in the dark this morning on our way north to some warmer, and drier now, weather. Trig was found, photographed and now logged. TFTT Geocaching Australia. 
Out with Sophoutloud on the way home from Kozi and grabbing a few caches and trigs as we go, hopefully will be able to claim a few more regions. Getting late in the day and we still have quite a way to get home but we just couldn't resist grabbing a few more, sleep is for the weak right? nice and easy to spot this one from the road side.

On our way home sadly. But always time to stop of a cache or a trig or maybe both! Especially when your traveling with outdoornut22. This cord unit had us a bit stumped until we realized we had typed in the wrong coordinates

We arrived in Cowra at lunch time today. One of our first tasks was to locate the Cowra CORS. The required photo has been added to the Gallery. Thanks for the cache.
A quick stop on our way out of Cowra, heading from Orange to Canberra today....

Started at Bathurst bright and early for a bit of a trip down south, have a few trigs picked up to go after, got a relaxing trip as have to be back home on Saturday see how far I can go & how many trigs I can get photos of on the trip. This was the sixth stop on the first day was at a church in Cowra and took the required photo once I found a spot to shoot from. Thanks for the trig Geocaching Australia. Hopefully there will be a few I can get closer on the trip.

Found this CORS with the girlfriend after trying to find a couple of GCA caches. At least this one won't have gone walkabout. It was just a matter of parking somewhere safely. Then grabbing a photo of myself with the CORS.

GCA 1537. Found this while triping around Cowra today with minniek.
An unexpected day in Cowra so we spent a while tripping around grabbing some caches - a lot of them crossed out previous DNFs for me so I was pretty happy about that. It was nice to visit the POW Camp area again - so much work has been put into that area - awesome. Seeing a CORS had been published we were happty to do the quick drive-by for a piccie to claim this one. Another find for me and for Clan Cerberus. Yah !

Quick find on the way through Cowra today. Had to come and rescue fitzy and another cacher so made the most of the trip from Goulburn by caching along the way. I'm really getting addicted to finding all types of trigs and CORS. Bring on 100 I say.

One of the easiest CORS to access for a decent photo that we have ever found.
Just past that dreadful motel that we stayed in 4 or 5 years ago!!! Dirtiest place we have ever stayed in.
But thanks for an easy find.

#GA960 - 17:05; Decided to swing through Cowra on the way home after a day trip to Grenfell with the geohoney and her muggle friend during the Henry Lawson Festival. After collecting a few caches around Grenfell while the girls did some retail therapy, we were now headed for home and collecting a couple more on the way. This was the last one for today and after grabbing the snaps, we headed for home. TFTT Geocaching Australia

The new radio based ones are more difficult to find than the old-style ones. I hope I got this one correct!

Found on a huge day trip with Sol de Lune. After parking nearby, we were able to get a good picture of the trig with our GPSrs, then we were off again. Nice area. TFTC GCA!

Today we travelled to Cowra with van in tow and this was the 3rd trig we snapped on our journey. Another easy find.
I stayed in Cowra overnight on my way to the Oz Mega in Murray Bridge. I hadn’t thought to put any GCA caches on my GPS, but had the time to consult the mobile site on my phone over breakfast. When I saw that there were 2 trigs in town, I decided to find both of them before hitting the road again. This was the first of them.
A week before my big trip to SA there was time for one last day trip. This time I headed out to Wyangla Dam region. On the way home I came via Cowra and was able to tick another CORS off the list. Thanks

A newly published CORS on the road I've been driving these past two months. Easy to spot right on the end of the building. Even took two shots.
