Check out what we found...

A living survey relic that’s never moved.

An 1800s reference tree still holding its line - scarred bark, original markings, and a century of weather behind it.

Enjoying our weekend and reflecting on how blessed we are to do the work we do, and the amazing clients we get to work with to.

Thanks Lachie for your fabulous review, it was pleasure working with you.

Eric’s Relics ⚒️

Trig Stations & Tales from the Field.

Digging up the stories behind Australia’s surveying past, Eric explores trig stations - the old boundary‑defining pillars that helped shape the maps we use now. They’re weathered, they’re iconic, and they’re a reminder of how much surveying has evolved. Eric breaks down what they did, how they were used, and why they’re still worth a visit. 🔺️

Capital Gains Tax Hack 🏡

Why Selling Individually Can Make You More Money

Most people sell a whole block in one go - and leave serious money on the table. If you’ve got land with multiple dwellings or subdivision potential, here’s the simple truth: Selling individually can deliver a bigger return AND a smarter CGT outcome.

Disclaimer: We are not accountants or financial advisors and cannot advise on any specific financial circumstances. Getting in before the CGT changes may not be the best option for you and independent advice is recommended. 🔺️

Meet Romeo, our trainee survey assistant for today! He was most interested in Kate's technique - and also finding out what her fluoro jacket tasted like!

As per our last post, but more technical:

• GNSS needs two units to achieve surveying accuracy, one set on a known point and one being the rover. At any instant in time, the unit on the known point, called the base station, works out the difference between the actual coordinate for the point and the coordinate determined from the satellites overhead. The rover doesn’t automatically know the difference between the correct coordinate and what’s being measured. The difference in coordinates is measured at the base station and transmitted to the rover, where that correction is applied in real time to get accurate measurements. This is called Real Time Kinematic. The correction can be sent and received via radio from our own base station, which is useful, particularly in rural locations. An alternative is to use CORS – see below.

• CORS is Continually Operating Reference Station. There is a network of CORS stations across Australia (image showing the NSW “CORSnet” network). The correction data from each CORS station is available to be accessed using a web login via a paid subscription. When the rover is close to a reference station, we find it best to use that station as the only correction source. When the rover is between reference stations, it is possible to use multiple stations to get a Network Solution. Network coverage is shown on the CORS map as the red stripe hatching. It’s not available everywhere, with the areas of NSW not covered by CORSnet stations and/or network solution covering most of the western side of the state.

• Using a single GNSS unit, whether it is a surveying unit or a smartphone, accuracy is typically limited to about 3 metres in horizontal. There are varying levels of accuracy that can be achieved using a second unit and real-time corrections.

Eric grew up outdoors on a Dubbo farm, working the land and learning its rhythms. Surveying clicked instantly - same wide skies, same tough terrain, same sense of purpose. He’s never been happier than when he’s outside with a job to do.

P.S, the blow fly timed his flyby perfectly 👌

One of the best things about being a surveyor, is that we get to use cool toys... or for a better term, amazing equipment like the drone.

We use drones for their ability to capture precise aerial measurements of land, structures, and terrain. This data is processed into maps, 3D models, and volume calculations, which are essential for construction, mining, agriculture, and infrastructure. The use of drones in surveying offers several advantages:

• Speed: Drones can collect data rapidly, reducing the time spent on site.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Drone surveying is generally less expensive than traditional ground-based methods.

• Accuracy: With the right technology, drones can achieve centimetre-level accuracy, meeting the accuracy requirements of many engineering and planning applications.

• Safety: Drones reduce the risk of human error and injury associated with traditional surveying methods.

• Versatility: Drones can be used across various projects of any size, making them a flexible tool for surveying.
