Here's something cool.

Thanks for sharing!  Reminds me of surveying in the Outer Banks on the sound.  Ground so soft I had to build mats out of reeds to get the instrument stable, then step back after turning the screws on the robot to level it with multiple iterations....  Good times!

That's just how things are built in Australia, good thing we don't really have big earthquakes, half of Sydney CDB would probably topple over.
