What's New
May 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the:
Conference of the
Director of Commonwealth Lands and Surveys,
the Surveyor-General and the Government Astronmer of New Zealand,
and the Surveyors-General of the States of the Commonwealth of Australia
Melbourne, 20-25 May, 1912.
Recalling why this conference was so important to Australian topographic mapping.
As of 1 February 2012
- Laurie McLean's 2006 article about flying out of Kidson on spot photography sorties has been updated to also record his more recent visits to that particular location.
- Then read about Kidson the geophysicist, and his 1914 camel trek into that same part of WA.
- In case you find yourself in that same part of WA with only a Traeger TM2/TM3 type radio and some long lengths of wire having a copy of this article might help you talk to the "outside" world!! Was this where it all started with OJB??
