Cottesloe Beach set the world record with 2088 people on bright yellow thongs and beat last years winner by 712. The weather was hot but produced smooth conditions and looked spectacular from the air. The colours were amazing, the water was so clear.
On an aerial job last week in the wheat belt I flew over some interesting farmland due to the recent harvests. Would love to have had more time in the area but was on a job so will have to return in the near future especially after a harvest…

Yes you’ll have to come out when we are seeding , thats done with GPS as well. I’ll let you know when its happening, be some time in June.
I knew that you would know the answer…GPS…thats why the lines are so straight….I will have to come out next year and see them in action, I think it would be very interesting…
Could be any reason Peta, maybe someone just got bored so turned around to go the other way
. If there are 2 headers working together then when they have to unload a full bin they have to swap rows so one machine will do a loop Those tracks in number 4 are chaser bin tracks. The chaser bin and tractor go out into the paddock and unload the harvester on the move then go back to where the truck is so their tracks go everywhere but you can see they link up to a main track heading into the bottom RH corner, thats the track back to the trucks. The straight line tracks are auto steering with GPS. if they don’t have machines with auto steering then they generally go around and around the paddock in ever decreasing circles. Now , that should really confuse you. !!
Thanks Merv, ok guess your invited then……
You can answer a question om harvesting….why is it that they go up and down the fields in straight lines then do a couple of turns in the middle and then they go straight again…
Love these Peta, they are great. Next time you go out to get these I’m coming too.

Had an interesting aerial shoot this week, 80kms of railway track. The countryside was amazing, so rich in colour and the fields had just been harvested so heaps of interesting patterns along the way. With the cyclone up north pushing easterly winds down it was extremely windy and with the temperature around 36 degrees it…

Why thank you Mark…..
Sweet Aerials as always Peta…you are the airgirl for sure! 
Thanks Stuart, It was very interesting following 80kms of track through farmland and the salt lakes. Would love to go back to the area as there are so many salt lakes and loads of amazing patterns….
Hi Peta. These are all sensational. My favourites are #5, 26-27, 33, 40 – but the list could go on. I would hate to be the apprentice on the constrcution when someone realises that that blue drum has been left behind… Great work.
Thanks Merv, Happy New year.
Yes it was very hot and extremely bumpy,I prefer it to be a lot smoother, you get a lot less bruises….
Great set of images Peta. I don’t think Id like the bumpy ride though.
Mark Griffin and I had a photo shoot for Last Say Communications, our first for the new year. Outdoor shoots are always challenging especially in hot and sunny conditions. Here is a couple of the group shots we did and see Marks post for the portraits.

Peta - Thanks Luke, yes thats one of my favourite shot as well, I did try and just get a few in but it was a bit crowded.
Luke Austin - Some great shots there Peta. I particularly like the aerial image with the beach umbrellas and white sand. Would look great printed large
Peta - Hey Greenie good to hear from you….dont worry I take a commercial pilot especially when the door is off…cant fly and take photos…well ok sometimes. yes it is a SEA of yellow…..
Greenie - Now. Who was flying the plane when you took these photos?
Just hangin out the window and on Auto pilot.
I SEA yellow
Peta - Yep it sure has been hot, I think the temp got to 40 degrees on australia day and it was really hot in the plane.
Will catch up with you when you get back….
sandy@shots - LOVE THIS!! Makes me homesick. I hear you’ve been having a heatwave….has been around -3 here in Europe. Maybe in 2013 I can join you?
Great aerials as always. Wish I could be there for your ‘photo walk’ but will be there in spirit. Hope you have a great time.
Peta - Thanks Merv, was up circling for around an hour and a half waiting for them to get all lined. Did get a few of them all finally linked just before they all broke up. It was a bit of fun, and the conditions were perfect.
mervfrench - Great shots Peta you must have circled for a while. I don’t think theres a shot of them all in the water at once by the look of it . Probably organized chaos on the beach.
