For Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I was on Flinders Island (40 S, 148 E)doing a variety of jobs. Since I get a lot of enjoyment out of looking at others work photos, I thought I'd put some of mine up.One job was up at Boat Harbour (39.855 S, 147.783 E) checking track locations to see if they were constructed where they should have been.Boat Harbour BeachView from near client's house. Spectacular even when its raining.Track that is mostly in the correct spot.Another job was on the foreshore at Whitemark (40.125 S, 148.015 E)Average 30 knots, gusting 40 knots of wind make it interesting to hold the pole steady!Then we were down at Ranga (40.188 S, 148.121 E) for a subdivision job.This is the type of fences we have to deal with. No massive ladders or long drives or avoiding gun toting owners here. :-D Finally, yours truly in a Ti Tree forest. Because of the rain the previous days a lot of it was underwater by about 50mm. We found an old star picket survey mark at that point. I never actually saw it but the precalculated coordinate got me to within 400mm, the metal locator found it and then I exposed enough of it under the murky water with the spade to feel that it was still vertical. Its likely that no one had been near it since 1957 when it was placed.

That is a "Wire Gate"

In Florida, we call that a Georgia gate. A wire gate that has 3 wires is called a North Georgia gate and if it only has two wires it is call a South Georgia gate.
