Exclamation Shark Patrols

The mob down in Wollongong operate a Partenavia and a C182, but I believe that a government trail was undertaken last year to evaluate the effectiveness of the fixed wing compared to rotary wing aircraft (R44). I heard that numerous photos had to be deleted off the government issued cameras as the "Spotters" were taking photos through hotel resort windows rather than actually looking for the rubber sharks which were placed off beaches up and down the coast. As with most Volunteer organisations it is full of "hobby hacks" who's lives revolve around the organisation, which makes life difficult at times. If your looking for easy hour building and you can sell your soul, integrity and turn a blind eye to some rather questionable practices, and finally put with a of a CP then give it a go. Why not?????
