Historical information

Following cessation of hostilities following WWII the Survey Corps was actively redeployed to commence mapping of Mainland Australia to ensure that Australia's limited mapping coverage situation was not repeated should any similar conflict occur. There was still an urgent requirement to map enemy occupied territory for the recovery of our prisoners of war. This paper discusses that 1946 mapping program and is complimented by a Herald Sun Newspaper Article of the time titled "Big Areas to be Mapped from the Air.".
