Hi everyone,
I was wondering if the group is able to arrange Map Reading Training. As we are all going to be out in the scrub being able to read a topographical map is and can be a life saving skill.
As a thought, I'm sure if we have enough interested members, we could approach a State Emergency Service / Rural Fire Service Local Headquarters and make a proposal for them or some of their instructors, to run a map reading course. Of course, each member can make a donation to the HQ or Brigade for this service.
Having those skills will ensure everyone can find their way back to their vehicle/camp or any location and not get themselves lost. It can and will also enhance the overall prospecting/fossicking experience as members will know where they are, where they want to be and how to get there safely and back again. This will be a skill for life.
Any ideas?
