More camera funding thanks to Dick Smith in 2024.

In case you've been living under a rock for the last year... Dick Smith last year donated $10,000 towards expanding the number of airport weather cameras in Australia - read more here: https://www.australianflying.com.au/late...F3LsO-ISQ6 We managed to get new weather cameras at 26 sites across Australia.
Well, with another huge thank you to Dick Smith, we're doing it all again this year with yet ANOTHER donation!

If your airport or a suitable location are interested in hosting weather cameras provided by Dick Smith and Aus Web Cams, please reach out to me either here, via PM or you can email cameraoffer@auswebcams.com Be sure to provide contact information such as a phone number and email, the location and why you feel that they are needed in this location.

Bonus points for remote locations, especially in FNQ, NT and WA!

I'll endeavour to update this thread as new sites are chosen.

Get in quick as this all happened very quickly last time as there was a lot of interest.
You can view the cameras here: https://myairportcams.com or in your Favourite EFB, Windy or Ventusky.

Thanks for reading.

Brent.

Dick’s brilliant idea lives on and expands with his generosity.

Now we need to inspire the reforms by government that will cause a great revival of GA with jobs and businesses.

First and foremost put aviation back into a Department of Government, this is a necessary step because the Westminster system requires the arms of government to have an elected person to have the ultimate responsibility.

This creates a line of responsibilitity from us as voters and our representatives.

A policy to protect Commonwealth airports from non aviation development which is against National security as we lose irreplaceable airport infrastructure.

Then some specific reforms that will align our rules with ICAO and the USA which would see great opportunities for Australian aviation businesses to expand into other parts of the world, quite apart from local expansions of GA businesses.

Some immediate reforms too, such as delete the ASIC requirement as recommended by the government’s own Forsyth report of 1014.

Ring write contact your MP and State Senators asking what policies will they pursue to revitalise Australia’s GA industry.
