Named for a Water Tank, Home to Working Farms
Coads Tank takes its name from an old stock watering point, the kind of landmark that gave many localities in the Riverina their names before there were signposts. Today it is a rural locality in the Corowa district of Federation Council, a scatter of cropping and grazing properties on open country with no village, shop or school. Residents look to Corowa for services and to Albury, about an hour away, for anything the town cannot provide.
Water still shapes life here. Stock water, tank levels, pumps and troughs are checked daily, and more and more properties are adding sensors and cameras so those checks can be done from a phone rather than a ute. That technology, along with the farm office, the family’s devices and the internet behind them, is what we support at Coads Tank, remotely wherever possible and with visits scheduled into our runs through the district.
Farm Households on Open Country
The homes of Coads Tank are farmhouses on large holdings, from old homesteads with return verandahs to newer brick homes, with a second dwelling on many properties. Families are farmers and farm workers, children travel to Corowa for school or board away, and older residents often stay on the land. Distances between houses are measured in kilometres and the sky is the biggest thing in view.
Internet arrives by fixed wireless where a tower is in sight, and by satellite or Starlink otherwise, with Starlink now common for households that need reliable speed. Mobile coverage varies from paddock to paddock, and inside the house is often the worst spot, so Wi-Fi calling is one of the first things we set up. Households also want the connection to reach further than the house, to the pump shed, the tank and the yards, which a homestead router alone cannot do.
Water Monitoring, Stock Records and the Farm Office
Farming is the business of Coads Tank, and the technology on the farm now extends well beyond the office. Tank level sensors, trough monitors, pump controllers, weather stations and cameras at the yards all report to a phone, provided they have a signal or a Wi-Fi link to reach. In the office, livestock records, NLIS movements, grain contracts, spray logs, telematics and accounting run on one or two computers that also serve the household.
We help farms get this working as a whole: an outdoor network that reaches the water points and sheds, sensors and cameras set up securely, and an office with automatic backups, protected email and updated devices. For properties with several people involved, we set up shared cloud folders and individual logins. Our communication solutions team can also advise on radio, satellite and mobile options for staff working out of range.
Coads Tank and the Corowa District Roads
Coads Tank is part of the 2646 postcode that surrounds Corowa, among localities such as Balldale, Bull Plain and Redlands to the north of the town. Roads are sealed between the main points and gravel to the properties, and directions are given by road and property name. Corowa is the town for school, shopping, health and council services.
We include Coads Tank in our runs through the Corowa district and group properties so the travel is shared. Remote sessions come first for software, email and account problems and are available the same day. On-site work for outdoor networks, sensors, antennas and hardware is booked in, and we aim for next-business-day where we can. We confirm the gate, the track and the dogs before we set out. If a farm has been running on the same equipment for years, our device upgrades service can plan a sensible replacement without disrupting the season.
Other places we look after in the 2646 postcode include Balldale 2646, Bull Plain 2646, Buraja 2646, Collendina 2646 and Coreen 2646. See every suburb in Upper Murray Excluding Albury, or our IT Support Canberra page for the whole district.
