Trained and worked as a forester - started mapping with dyeline prints, stereo photos and derwent pencils Now work as a consultant using QGIS, ArcGis, Postgresql, PostGIS I'm a self taught hack who now looks at biodiversity, bushfire risk, optimisation of resource and mitigation placements. I've learned a lot from colleagues and places like GIS stack exchange - not sure I can help others but I'll give it a crack!
