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…

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…

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.
