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 modelled and corrected for, yielding the ±20 mm position solution required by so many industries.

Back in the area again as I head to Wodonga to catch up with family.
Out and about caching and taking photos for the day. Lovin' life, coffees and caches, waymarks and photos, taking the roads less travelled.
Does it get any better than travelling this great land of ours?
Always a lovely area to look around and some wonderful Points of Interest and history about.
Thanks for the cache.

Our official last find on a very short whirlwind trip to the big island. Euroa is a pretty little town, well worth a visit
After attending the "Central Victorian Annual Get Together" event as my 3,500th gc find, we traveled a slightly different route home, using geocaching as our guide.
After checking out the windmills in the next street, this was our last stop before heading home to Melbourne.
My Montana 650T had already been packed away so I improvised with the old Garmin Nuvi.

We are still working through photos taken during our recent trips to the northern island. We realised that we had detoured into Euroa as we travelled north on the Hume Highway and that we visited the location of the Euroa2 CORS and taken the required photo. Hence we will log a find on this cache. Thanks geocaching Australia for the cache.
#GA2031 - 13:45; I dropped into Euroa on the way south to Melbourne hoping to locate this CORS and collect a couple of the local caches. It was quite busy today with school holiday traffic on the highway and a car show in the town, right near GZ! Parked in Binney Street and then headed around to Bury Street for a look around just as the announcements for the winners in the car show were happening nearby. I didn't see the CORS antenna straight away, but after moving further along the street, it was in clear view, initially obscured by a tree. TFTT Geocaching Australia
