Phillip Petersen SESVA Committee member reports that Gosnells SES Unit hosted a GPS familiarisation workshop on Sunday morning. This was initiated by the Operations Officer at Gosnells, Graham Fixter.  The idea was to educate more volunteers on how to use a GPS correctly. So there was discussion about using correct map datum’s and some other basics of using a GPS.

Held at Hillside Farm which is on the edge of Darling Scarp in the City of Gosnells, there was a variety of terrain and locations for learning and to challenge volunteers.

There were 39 volunteers who participated. They were from the following  SES units:

• Armadale;
• Canning;
• Communications Support Unit;
• Gosnells;
• Kalamunda;
• North Shore;
• Rockingham;
• Stirling;
• Swan.
