The Society applied for and received a grant from the Australian Government’s Caring For Our Country initiative.
Aaron Spence of Panedia was commissioned to take a series of 360° panoramas of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area's national parks and reserves.
Access to National Parks - especially Jenolan Caves and Kedumba Valley - were provided by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Thanks to Jacq, Arthur and Ted.
The first "photo shoot" was at dawn at Mt. Hay on Sunday 12th September, 2010.
