Spatial Technologies Summer School - 2009 La Trobe University - Mildura Campus |

| Participants from Tasmania, Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales spent 5 days learning how to use Google Earth, ArcMap and GPS to map the natural and constructed world. The abundance of vineyards, citrus groves and the lock and weir network of the mighty Murray River provided a smorgasbord of infrastructure that just begged to be mapped. | |||||

The discovery of Lake Hawthorn completely dried out and nothing but a salt pan left behind was mind-blowing (there was once a sailing club based there). A visit to the New South Wales, Department of Primary Industry Research Station was a fruit lovers 'Mecca', with its hundreds of acres of citrus and grapes. |
