Good stuff Squawk + Dick et al ... nothing like a good sunrise shot to enjoy the moment (but also show the camera is tilted a few degrees off-level ):

Perhaps an unforseen bonus of this installation is that the sign could be rewritten with "Turn around, you're on camera!"

Another one has just come online from the Dick Smith donation.

It will appear in your EFB by tomorrow with any luck.

Another set of cameras up and running thanks to a donation of 2 cameras compliments of Dick Smith and with generous assistance from members of a local flying club (I haven't asked for their permission yet to say who was involved), plus a member/aviator who kindly offered to host them on his property.

A very welcome set of cameras for those transiting to the east of Melbourne around the Lilydale area.

They will shortly be appearing in your favourite EFB.

Wow! That's great, Squawk! Very timely also. Now I'll be a lot less likely to be caught out by those winter fogs rolling in!!
