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.

Finally got around to learning a bit about Litchi and setting up and running waypoint missions.
This is one that I did in Kiama this week.
Click the link to watch on YouTube.

This is the first test I have run using Litchi with my Mavic Mini. The trip was around Blowhole Point at Kiama in NSW Australia. I must say, I am very impres...

Probably not a good day to go flying drones....

Experts warn there could be more to come.

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.

Doesn't look like I will be in the air today...

For those that don't know, the red squares are the reason why.

Snapped a few photos around Kiama in my lunch break last Friday and today. Trying out the Litchi app and some of the panorama settings. I am pretty happy with it but still need to spend more time to figure out all the settings.
