Predominantly a field camp under as realistic as possible conditions, involving teamwork and organisational skills development in order to complete three-dimensional geodetic surveys to national geodetic surveying standards and specifications, and a hypothetical rural subdivision according to Western Australian legislation. The field surveys include, but are not limited to - reconnaissance, triangulation, triliteration, traversing, GPS, EDM, astronomical observations, spirit levelling, closure checks, least squares adjustment and analysis. Auxiliary yet important activities include, but are not limited to - equipment calibration, project cost estimation, logistical planning, and professional report presentation to 'clients' in a production environment.
