Hi, I was checking this implementation to verify a custom one I'm making on golang and I noticed a difference on the Australia test case. While the site gives the following:

Captura de Pantalla 2021-09-20 a la(s) 09 18 44

...the Geoscience Australia geodetic calculator gives a different output:

Captura de Pantalla 2021-09-20 a la(s) 09 19 14

I just wanted to check if there's any additional details I'm missing on the output interpretation or if this is indeed a bug

Regards

As a sidenote, the Geoscience calculator yields the same results whether the GRS80 or the WGS84 ellipsoids is chosen

I think you are mixing up decimal degrees with sexagesimal degrees.

Geoscience Australia originally posted Flinders Peak and Buninyong in degrees, minutes, seconds, and I used those values.

37°57′03.72030″S, 144°25′29.52440″E ≡ 37.951033417°S, 144.424867889°E
37°39′10.15610″S, 143°55′35.38390″E ≡ 37.652821139°S, 143.926495528°E
