Quality

See the report for further information. The values provided in spatial coverage are approximate only. AUSLIG is now known as Geoscience Australia. Remarks Having the aerial photography program as a high priority and the camera mount being installed during resupply was an advantage this year, but as luck would have it the weather conditions were such that no significant photography could be acquired. The acquisition of aerial photography may have to be attempted in a different manner as suggested in previous years, by: - Leaving a suitably equipped aircraft on the island for a short summer season, or - Engaging a fixed wing aircraft to acquire aerial photography. If weather conditions had been favourable, there is no doubt that with the assistance and high priority given this year, that aerial photography would have been completed. The rapidly changing weather conditions make pre-planning flights very difficult and long range attempts by fixed wing aircraft would likely encounter similar bad weather.
