Trivia/Background:
This was declared the start of Season 3 as our big Queensland trip was over, and we were back in Melbourne, hence the DTAv3 on the title.
This was the first video featuring drone footage.
It was also the first attempt to draw a moving track on the map, however the animation was done in QGIS, and as a result, the labels change in subsequent renderings as label placement is non-deterministic. Future attempts at this would realise the best way to do this is just draw it on in Apple Motion.
We bought this drone from Rusty in QLD - but right at the end of the trip (seems like a waste… we could have used it for previous videos!)

Description:
We follow Track 13 from “4WD Trips Close To Melbourne” on a trip from Marysville to Thornton, via Keppel Creek, the Cathedral Range State Park, Cooks Mill, Neds Gully, Cathedral Lane, Blue Range Road, Quartz Creek Road, the Tom Burns Track, the Rubicon Historic Area, before leaving the area up to a picnic area near Thornton.
This was our first video featuring a drone - we hadn’t bought one until now because there are significant restrictions on where one can be flown. However, a friend offered us theirs for a price we couldn’t pass up, so we used it where it was allowed.
