Gee, TET, you really have been taking your grumpy pills I'd have thought an oldie like you would have an idea of what the terrain is up there at Skyline/The Esses, and how far away the crowd is from the helicopter

Here's a shot of the road from further up Skyline: look at the open area the other side of the road, where the camera ship was flying



and a bit further on, I'd guess your photo was from the other side of the road, by the shed:



and just to show that the commercial photographers know where to get the action shots: last year



ps did you notice the bridge over the road between the Squirrel and Craig in 'your' photo, and how the long lens has distorted the distance? Maybe that will give a better indication of how this is Much Ado About Nothing

Yes, been there and done it: lots of fun, but a very long day, and all the ticks were in the right box from CASA
