WHAT DO THE EXPEDITIONS PROVIDE THE STUDENTS ?

The goal of these biennial expeditions is to give today’s graduating surveyors the unique opportunity to practice their skills in the remote/outback areas of Western Australia. Participants benefit enormously from the experience and become better surveyors as a result.

Typically expeditions re-trace the footsteps of early surveyors. This has a twofold purpose; firstly it enables us to experience in a very small way the hardships the early surveyors endured to achieve their goals; and secondly, as these early surveys have never been re-surveyed, the results are used to  verify the original work and enhance the State Survey Network.
