Description
CORS (Continually Operating Reference Stations) collecting geodetic data from GNSS.
A CORS is a Continuously Operating Reference Station. CORS can take the place of a traditional base station used in differential GNSS positing. They can give an instant position to an accuracy of ± 20 mm and are used in many industries including Precision Agriculture, Construction, Mining, Surveying and in Scientific Research.
Typically, the maximum distance between a base station and rover GNSS set up is around 10 - 15 km. This is due to the effect of the atmosphere on the GNSS signals as they travel from the satellite to a GNSS receiver.
With the establishment of a network of CORS, the distance between the base and the rover can be extended. The CORS can be spaced around 70 km apart and using at least 3 of these CORS, the atmospheric effects can be modeled and corrected for, yielding the ± 20 mm position solution required by so many industries.
More info on CORS can be found here: CORS
To log a find on the Geocaching Australia website, you will need to include a picture of the CORS, along with your GPS and/or yourself. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the CORS.

Logs
On our way through Berri we stopped to get the photo to log this CORS. It was a bit difficult to get the CORS in the photo but it's there. We drove around the block a couple of times trying to get the best angle! TGFTT
Took a while to spot. You have to walk up the street and across the road. It’s the smallest thing on the roof from this vantage point.

Found with Just a cacher on a trip to SA.
Thanks for the Trig.

Found this CORS after completing the On Your Bike series and on the way to Renmark
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Early in 2021 I received an invite from GoosenEgg and Stainless Steel Rat to join them on a caching trip to the Mega in South Australia. As planning got underway some caches with high Favorite points, very old caches, and the On Your Bike Series were listed as "must-dos"
The trip ended up being 10 days of solid and very enjoyable caching with quite a few highlights. The find count for the trip was around the 950 mark when all GCA, Adventure Lab, and GC caches are included. The high point for finds was a day of 335 finds in the one day, which would have been more, but a sudden storm put the end to caching for the day. No one was interested in getting out of the car to find a cache in a downpour in the dark
We were lucky enough to find Gawler Fort Knox, Dustin's Cache, and my favorite for the trip Barossa High (From 21st of January 2001 with the original log book still in place) all in the one day.
Unfortunately, the caching around the mega was beset by bad weather and the day we had put aside for Mount Gambier was scrapped due to a covid case in Mount Gambier on the previous day, so we avoided the area. We all enjoyed the Fishing series and just managed to get the remaining of these before the light failed for the day.
In the end I managed to completed my D/T grid for the first (and possibly the second time) which was my aim for the year, although some of the D/T combinations were not really achievable in Tasmania without a 3 day overnight bush walk.

One of the hardest CORS to spot that we have ever done. Did a lap of the building and managed to find it.
In our photo it is directly above the GPS and right above the end of the white pipe on the brick wall.
If I was clever with computers I would be able to circle it as other finders have done but I don't know how to do that so this is as good as it gets from us.
Thanks.

This one took some searching. We circumnavigated the building several times, looking for the right parapet wall, then trying to see it from the back of the building, which to us seemed impossible.
We gave up and moved on, but later in the day, as we drove past, we caught sight of the elusive receiver from the front of the building, not the back.
If you stand in front of Safe Work SA, approximately S34° 17.091' E140° 36.077' you will see the very top of the receiver sticking up above the red brick wall.
I grabbed the best photo's I could and ticked this one off of the list.

After backtracking a little early this morning to look for some moveables we missed yesterday, we travelled from Renmark to Port Wakefield via Burra, looking for caches along the way. For much of the drive we could see many different aspects of the Murray River from both river bank and elevated positions. It was another really enjoyable day. Whilst Mrs y'stassie went to look for another cache, the other half of the team went to look for this cache. It took a couple of circumnavigations of the government offices before the CORS antenna was located. It was hard to see as it was sitting almost flush on top of a parapet wall rather than on a customary mast. Three photos have been added to the Gallery: a longer distance view showing our GPS and the CORS antenna; a closer view of the CORS antenna; and an enlarged and cropped version of the previous photo. In each photo the CORS antenna has been highlighted. Thanks Geocaching Australia for the cache.
We are currently touring South Australia with our geovan in tow, using geocaching as a guide. We have visited many amazing locations through geocaching and today our journey bought us to Berri - Berri CORS - an easy drive by trig. Required pic has been added to the gallery. Thanks Geocaching Australia for listing this CORS and adding to our geocaching experience today.

Alice trip 2017. Day 3. After finding somewhere to park, I walked around the building looking for a spot to get an image. Not the best, but it will have to do.
Thanks

#GA1427 - 12:40; Day 3 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune. We are now headed from Mildura across the border into the Riverland and our final destination of Barmera after caching around Renmark, Berri and Loxton. We had now crossed the border and were grabbing a few caches along the way to a couple of series we had on the radar. This one took a little while to spot, but it had its head peeking over the wall and I was happy to get a joint *FTF* with Sdl on this one. TFTT Geocaching Australia

Heading to Alice Springs and Darwin with LuckL10n and stopped in here to grab the CORs and the *FTF*.
This CORs is a little hard to see...and you can only just see the top of it from around the back of the building.....but it is there, so all is good.
