Took a while to spot this one, but there it was when I got back to where I parked the car.
Rated: for Overall Experience
A beautiful day for a bit of a drive though the Australian back country
The sun was out for most of today and in this area it seems so was the wildlife! On my way to GZ I saw half a dozen kangaroos, two emus and even an echidna that was strolling across the roadway
Once I had arrived at GZ locating the CORS unit was very easy, it is massive, approximately 500mm in diameter I would guess and prominently mounted on the roof
Cheers
