P.S. Ben01 You weren't up near Broome were you ? That would be awesome footage.
No mate not quite that far - actually in Kalbarri which is on the Murchison River a couple of hours north of Geraldton.
The inland gorges there are simply stunning and so is the coast line - cliffs, beaches etc.
I spent a fair bit of time in Broome in my late teens and early twenties and know just how stunning that place is as well. Hopefully one day I'll make it back up with a drone and capture some of it [emoji106]
P.s I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments. I think it's really sad and pathetic how regulated it is - not so much with regard to "no fly zones" near airports etc as I fully appreciate and support that but national parks etc is ridiculous!!!
There is a tiny little island off the Perth coast called Rottnest Island - you're probably familiar with that too. Well when I bought my drone I had every intention of taking it over on a family holiday and filming some of the best beaches in the country but no - the island authority prohibits recreational UAV usage. It's a joke - the rules are in place I.e stay away from people, boats, etc etc but then they go and ban usage altogether. I've spent quite a bit of time travelling around WA in the last few years and I can honestly say I've seen a drone flown ONCE. Yes it is a growing "hobby" but it certainly is not yet what I would call popular. Not here anyway.
