Meeting	Monday 20/2/23	Club Meeting and Club Annual General Meeting Speaker: Paul Campbell	Staying safe - Pros and cons of technology in the bush Despite being surrounded by cheap accessible technology to assist communication and navigation, people are still becoming lost or unable to quickly call for assistance if injured when day bushwalking, hiking or outback touring. Part of the problem is that people overestimate the capability of their mobile phones as navigation and safety devices. This presentation will show how to make better use of your mobile phone and other readily available consumer devices to stay safe in the bush. About the Speaker Dr Paul Campbell has a PhD from the University of Queensland for his ecological modeling of the fauna and flora of Fraser Island. Paul has been a Director of Save the Bilby Fund since 2010 and helped implement their ‘Bilby Tracks’ citizen science trips to outback Queensland. He is an experienced guide and outback traveler, and has been into some of the most remote parts of Australia.
