KHA Interactive Map Wins Prize
The Surveying and Spatial Sciences Conference each year has a map competition. The KHA Map was submitted this year and won the category for Individual Map - Dynamic. This means maps made by one person (not a company), and that are web-based.
Feed back on the map is welcome - suggestions for improvment, updated hut locations, how it works for you.

Mapping cellphone signal strength
KHA members working on the huts can find a number of mobile phone signal strength maps on the internet. Various phone companies provide coverage maps;Telstra, Optus, Vodaphone.
OpenSignal is a 'crowd sourced' version where mobile phone owners can record the signal strength on their own phones and upload that via an installed app on their smartphone. KHA members and the public might like to contribute.
'White Cards' 2013
We were advised by NPWS in July that KHA volunteers participating in workparties this coming season 2012-13 will be required to hold 'White Cards' to participate. However, to enable workparties to take place in 2012-13 only the workparty supervisor need hold a whitecard. Some KHA members already hold these, we will try to run some training sessions before the workparty season starts. KHA and NPWS are trying to access funding to run whitecard training courses. Some on-line courses are valid, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.
