Northern Gulf’s Mapping Officer Sarah gets the run down on the benefits of GIS mapping of your property and how Northern Gulf RMG has helped land owners such as John of Wetherby Station document their properties, fences, boundaries plus more.
@northerngulf – Chair John Brisbin and RALF Officer Laura Miller travelled to Green Hills Station, near Georgetown recently to meet with owner of Green Hills, Greg Ryan. Greg had recently been conducting numerous burns on his property to remove rubber vine in a paddock that he had been spelling. In order to achieve best result, the fire needs to be a hot burn. The Northern Gulf RMG drone was flown over the paddock that Greg had burnt and Greg stated that he was pleased with the result of how much weed he had eliminated. By using the drone, Greg could see exactly what areas had been burnt and it was more economical than bringing in a helicopter.. #Gulffuture
