- Scarsdale (Vic)
- Darley (Vic)
- Mangalore

If you consider a site to be a critical in terms of needing cameras (that is not listed above), please nominate it here.

With many thanks to a keen pilot and Facebook groups moderator over in Western Australia, we have now been given permission by the Western Australian Department of Transport to use the WA coastal cameras to be added to the EFB's. Apologies for the size of the disclaimer, but it has to be there. These are a great asset for aviators as unless you knew where to find them, were only really of use to fisherman until now.https://mywebcams.com.au/WA/Albany.php

Thanks to Paul Bennet Airshows, there are now two cameras at YMND Maitland in New South Wales.

They are already in OZRunways and are coming soon to AvPlan.

We have just installed 2 new cameras at Bankstown, NSW.

Many thanks to the operator of these for providing this valuable resource to all aviators. I will be adding their details in due course.

They are both up now in 5 megapixel glory.

- Darley (Vic)
- Mangalore
- Townsville

With a huge thanks to The Lily Dutch Windmill, please see the following new image in Western Australia.

https://mywebcams.com.au/thelilystirlingrange/

A second image will be coming in due course.

The Lily Dutch Windmill has an iconic DC3 on-site that you can sleep in overnight. Check out their website!

Adding to my earlier post about the new Bankstown cameras, there is a good news story behind them.

YSBK - Bankstown | My Web Cams Australia

I am pleased to advise that they have been installed by a new company, Sydney Flight Training.

This is great to hear that amongst the doom and gloom that a new flight training company has been granted permission to operate by CASA, bucking the perceived trend that Bankstown is going downhill.

Their website is yet to be created, however I just wanted to share what I believe to be a good news story.



PS: the second camera is now active at the Lily Stirling range (link above), complete with the DC-3 in the image.

Both are council owned which makes it more challenging, but if there’s clubs there including gliding clubs, let me know and I’ll take it on and do my best to get a result.

Just went looking for this specific one yesterday, the Narromine camera works if you use the URL, or tweak the URL from another, listed, camera but it's missing from the Aviation drop-down box on the website.

Thanks for the feedback. That has been fixed now.

I lose track sometimes with updating the website as there are so many coming online each week it’s hard to keep up.

Thank you, it's always good to hear positive feedback. It can get a bit relentless and repetitive at times but it's worth it in the end for everyone.
