Finally got a chance where everything aligned, free time, the weather, charged batteries, etc. Headed down to Tweed Heads to do a bit of a test flight.

A bit of a reconnaissance mission last weekend down to Fingal Head and beyond. Hope to get down this way soon and get some nice pics of the heads from off shore.

Went to Kingscliff last weekend and had hoped to get a few photos between other appointments but it was not to be. The gimbal decided to literally chuck a wobbly and most photos looked like the first one. Only managed to get one from the whole bunch that was anything like reasonable (the last one).

Seems to be that the ND filter caused an issue as when it was reinstalled later at home it was all good.

I'll be back !

National parks protect some of Australia's most beautiful natural landscapes, including deserts, rain forests and coral reefs. We have more than 600 national parks here in Australia and although it's great to explore the natural beauty of these areas, there are rules that apply to flying your drone so as not to disturb these protected locations and habitats.

Remember, the rules can differ from state to state so it's best to check the relevant state or territory laws about flying in national parks before you fly your drone.

L:inks to further information for each state and territory are on the CASA website.

In this video, learn how drones are being used to gather data, track livestock, and precisely disperse chemicals.

Did you know that Cairns Esplanade and the CBD are located on the approach or departure path to Cairns Airport?

To ensure safety for those on the ground and in the sky, all drones regardless of size are prohibited from flying over or in a departure or approach path.
