Guy's & Girls(yes we have at least one female mustering pilot that I know of),
I regularly get calls from people wanting advice on using Gyro's for mustering - the problem is that I dont know all of the answers;
Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Brumby's, Donkeys and even Camels!
The questions focus on;
General operations, Training, Ideal gyro types, Gyro maintenance, Insurance and legalities
What I am thinking of doing is organising a three day (you could stay longer if you want to turn it into a family holiday) event here in WA on a Station located on the Ningaloo coast of WA that also has great fishing and other tourist activities.
I plan to make this a very practical hands on event not just listening to people talking.
If the interest is good enough I would also be willing to sponsor a couple of expert SCowGrowers and SGoatGrowers to come across to give us the benefit of their expertise( Birdy, Brian you get the hint!).
I have yet to discuss this with the incoming ASRA Exec but I am sure that this would be seen in a very positive light by ASRA and CASA especialy as the new regs are likely to open gyro mustering to commercial operations in the near future.
This would be run on a cost recovery basis only.
So I can gauge the level of interest across Australia, people who are interested in being involved can let me know via the ASRA forum or directly on any one of the contact numbers below.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Adrian
