A sad
day my first fly of the drone it took off. I manage to crash land by
the car and the second attempt it rose 2 feet then took off out over
the road and the valley where it disappeared from sight. I was not
sure where it landed. So 2 mins and gone.
We
spent the morning looking but to no avail. John even thought to look
for the wifi on his phone. We could track the strength of its signal
but that was up just near the road and on the road. Could not see it
any where then it’s batteries died.
I
had not expected it to just takeoff……..
Oh
well AU$100 gone.
During
the morning JA spoke to his sister then JY on the sat phone. No
phone reception here.
Late
afternoon john drove us down most of the way. The road was well used
with a lot of truck activity, they were widening the road. Our nice
track became roadworks.
This
lady giving her cows more water just outside her house. The animals
just seem to wonder all day. On and off the roads.
One
small town had a unique architecture. All very similar with built-in
verandahs and very well loved.
Found
a camp once we were back on the bitumen down by the waters edge. The
noise of the river drowned out what little traffic there was.
