15.01.2022 GOING UNDERGROUND - LESSONS FOR SUBURBIA FROM SUBTERRANEAN COOBER PEDY Despite the temperature edging into the 40s during summer, dugouts in Coober Pedy usually stay between 19 and 25 degrees, which saves residents huge amounts of money on cooling expenses. So, why aren't we living underground?... If underground housing has such obvious benefits, why isn't it more widespread? Dr Berry said not everywhere was as well suited to building underground as Coober Pedy. "Coober Pedy is fantastic because it's soil type allows for relatively easy construction of underground buildings," he said. See more... https://www.abc.net.au//underground-housing-a-gol/12880618

08.01.2022 Coober Pedy Country Fire Service CFS disappointed about unauthorised fireground drone use On Friday evening, crews attending the Templers fire were made aware of an unauthorised drone being flown in close proximity to the fireground. "Firegrounds are incredibly complex and the unauthorised use of drones is not acceptable" CFS Manager of State Air Operations, Nik Stanley explained,... "During the Kangaroo Island fires earlier this year, we had to ground our firebombers and aerial support because members of the public were using drones. It was a massive waste of our time and resources. "While the operator complied with the CFS's request to cease using the drone on Friday, it was an added concern that crews shouldn't have to deal with, among all their other tasks and responsibilities while attending a fire." There is a strict 5nm (9.2 km) exclusion zone for all unauthorised aircraft around firegrounds. Breaching this exclusion zone, or interfering with aerial firefighting, is illegal, and can carry heavy fines if you are found guilty. Information on the rules around drone use can be found at www.casa.gov.au/drones/rules. See more
