I really like it on those occasions when you “happen” upon a trig. station (have a read). Guess having a surveying background has me looking at these structures in awe. Lately I saw one at Mt Canobolas as below.
It’s probably also about the fact that they (just about) have to be on the tops of mountains, and so they are pretty dramatic.
Their other fascination is that we know their position on Earth, until you get earthquakes, maybe, thanks to the hard work of surveyors of the past. If you can see three of them and have a theodolite at the ready, you can use those three trig. station geodetic co-ordinates and accurate measurement of the two angles between the three trig. stations, as measured with your theodolite to find out where you are … and what’s better than knowing where you are? When you are? Which you are? How you are? Who you are? Who are you? Oh oh, oh oh.
This method is called resection and the method used in this tutorial is the Cassini method of resection calculation.

One interesting thing I’d research is Mojo Portal as far as CMS (Content Management System) goes.
Download programming source code and rename to Default.aspx.
