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.

Thanks for the trig.
Now based at Cataract Park we headed out today with Tassie Trekkers and stopped to photograph this trig. The required photo has been added to the gallery. At least the fog had lifted and the rain had ceased. TFTT

So a hop off the train a short walk to the school and bingo there it is right on the side of the building.
No doubt best left after school hours or better holidays, we don't want the wrong kind of attention with people taking pictures of school kids!
