Geoscience Australia conducted an absolute gravity survey during April and May 2015 in order to maintain and update the Australian Fundamental Gravity Network (AFGN). During the 2015 AFGN field campaign 35 absolute gravity readings were taken with an A10 gravity meter out of which 29 were new additions to the network. Six of the readings were taken over older AFGN stations in order to update and validate existing values. The re-measures found the previous gravity values agreed with the new A10 measurements within their stated uncertainties. Two ties were made with the CG5 gravity meter from a newly established station in order to resolve discrepancies with existing gravity values. 30 pre-existing stations were checked for their condition during this survey and 5 stations were found to be destroyed. GPS readings were taken at existing stations and their locations updated in the database as many of the old stations had poorly defined locations.
