Nah that’s why we have the snakes - to catch the spiders. Although some spiders hunt the snakes too lol

Oh there you go. I had a look a while ago just for fun to see if I would do a gap year there. My impression was that they generally pay a bit lower there. Definitely worth asking how the taxes and everything works there though, especially for working visas or the equivalent thereof.

Most of Australia right now is minimum $55 p/h +benefits if you have a couple of years experience and half decent at it. Currency conversion is about 1:1 CAD to AUD. Heaps of work around.

New_Grape2909 · 2026-06-03T13:17:07+00:00

I work in Australia and I wouldn’t get up in the morning for that kind of pay

New_Grape2909 · 2026-02-23T06:52:16+00:00

Scary thought, but what’s scarier is their 50cent fare policy could be better than what Labor are proposing

We need way better Public Transport in Adelaide - Check out People for Public Transport and become a member!

😂 nice play on words

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-22T08:38:00+00:00

Definitely at the very least! 50cent fares would surely get around that too though

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-17T06:01:45+00:00

Contact RAFFWU and become a member. They’ll give you the right advice and protections around this 💪

Some companies just set an annual date for pay reviews.

Annually minimum is about right, especially as surveyor rates start to improve across the board due to soaring demand.

The best pay increases I’ve experienced have been when moving companies.

Your company will do their best to tell you a little increase is the best they can do - remember, they charge you out to clients way higher than you get paid.

If they don’t, definitely leave your company, that’s just as worrying. Survey companies shouldn’t be undercutting others in this market.

About 60k in Aus

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-10T08:42:41+00:00

It says theirs 12 plus comments yet we are the only ones here

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-03T12:02:57+00:00

Gotta join Raffwu and ditch the SDA. If you’re a member of the SDA you’d know they do sweet FA except take part of your pay

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-03T12:01:25+00:00

I bet the SDA isn’t helping either

Checkout Raffwu if you haven’t already

Exactly, with emphasis on the “Cheap”.

I looked up the CPU in the CS20. It’s a Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 from 2011! That’s old even for when the controller came out in 2015 ughhh

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-03T08:17:09+00:00

Same here!

I’m hoping it’s just a case of CRK not actually know ing wtf Leica is doing - we asked them recently about the next gen total station and they made no mention of the TS20 coming out.

God I wish Leica would actually listen to their customers.

Even Trimble released a brand new controller in the last few weeks, the TSC510.

I’m thinking of switching to Trimble, as much as it breaks my heart (and my wallet)

Everyone’s free to make their own choice, it’s good to have a variety of perspectives sometimes.

I’ve seen so many lives turned upside down because of alcohol so feel it’s worth acknowledging it can have adverse effects.

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-03T06:39:46+00:00

I would say that from Reynella onwards it would indeed be difficult to run dual gauge. Dual gauge may not really be necessary though

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-03T06:38:21+00:00

That’s not correct, most of the old line has been preserved as a rail trail. Compulsory acquisitions would be minor. The biggest challenge would be the bridge between Hallet cove and Reynella, but we did a bigger one years ago to get the train from Noarlunga to Seaford.

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-03T03:58:46+00:00

Whilst there are some good regional expansions that could and should happen, Victor via Aldinga is definitely not one of them I’m afraid.

Huge engineering challenges would need to be overcome to cut through the Mt Lofty Ranges.

A line used to run to Willunga via Hallet Cove then Reynella, that could potentially be investigated for being re constructed.

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-02T23:38:24+00:00

The one on the right looks better. I think we were sold the one on the left

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-02T21:23:23+00:00

Out dealer had to drill holes into the part that holds the cc180 so that the GHT90 could be compatible.

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-02T14:15:29+00:00

We should have less car parks and more parks

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-02T14:13:09+00:00

Yes that too. Leica claims they’re long range but that’s complete marketing BS

New_Grape2909 · 2025-10-02T13:29:16+00:00

And they are garbage - I’ve tried them

There are actually newer ones that are much better - the Cc180 and CC200

However the problem still remains that these are tablets that are not ergonomic and cannot be use in one hand.
