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.

In town for the Gong Mega and today a flash mob at the lighthouse, so I spent the day geocaching in Wollongong. I couldn't get closer to this because of No Trespassing signs. TFTC.

Day 84 Mainland trip - OZGM
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

Wasn't sure what building this one was attached to so walked across the grass next door to get the required photo. It was only as we were leaving that we saw the school sign.
Quite a wet walk to, not from above but from the sodden grass.
Thanks.

At first I thought I had to go on the scholl property to get a view, but it turned out there was another angle to explore!

Found on a quiet day while out hunting horcruxes (not really, just walking with the kids).

Saw this one in the area so decided to go get while it was quiet.

I had been meaning to stop here several times but was unable to do so, however today was the day a quick stop on my way back to Lithgow after a GCA moveable drop in Berry.
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!
