An update for the masses...
Port Lincoln's first camera has now come online (will be straightened up shortly) and George Town Tasmania has a second camera now up and running which faces the wind sock.
Stay tuned for Portland and Tocumwal which should be online over the next week or two! YTOO in WA will be arriving too hopefully within a week.
As always, please let us know if there's somewhere you'd like to see online and we will do what we can to get them on board.

We have just had another camera come online which is at Milawa - Home of the Famous Brown Brothers Winery, thanks to a generous donor.
It's across the road looking towards the strip and the trees that you can see on the left, are the ones that you overfly to land there.

I've also added the 4 at Tocumwal, however they aren't properly mounted yet and aren't up in the EFB's yet.
Leongatha's should appear within the next few days, the host is just sorting out a mounting bracket for the best view.

Two more cameras have been added at Tooradin (although there is an internet problem there at the moment) and Tyabb's existing camera has been added too.
Those 3 and those above from Heck Field will be coming to your chosen EFB very soon.

As the images come from so many different sources that are managed by different providers, we are looking to implement a system at EFB level that checks if the file uploaded is the same as the last one and if so, then it won't be displayed and a message about the image being offline will be shown.

That is because it was temporarily offline and displaying the offline image which is a picture of the airport entrance sign.

That would be good, as this am Yarrawonga showed a missleading picture of good weather with a disclaimer “not to be used for flight planning”, but such disclaimers can be used sometimes on a valid image.
Would be preferable to show no weather image if it is not current.

I should add though, that the EFB's do not display alternate images. What you saw is the public images on the website. E.g. Tocumwal's images are of the floor and roof in a building. These are not certified to display in the EFB's.

That is something beyond the control of the website that I will work with the EFB's to resolve should it occur.

All feedback is welcome, both positive and negative.

We hadn't got around to it yet on the site because the EFB's do it automatically for us.
Let's just say it's "on the list."

Temora Aviation Museum should be online within the next week too which will be great for those who can't make it to the Warbirds Downunder event later this year.
We will also see the addition in the next week of Moruya NSW and also a lovely little private strip in the Huon Valley of southern Tasmania.
