Before the advent of satellite imagery, aerial photography captured from planes offered a way to systematically document land information. The Australian Survey Corps and Royal Australian Air Force flew photography to produce topographic maps. Geoscience Australia’s predecessor organisations, such as the Australian Surveying and Land Information Group (AUSLIG), and the Division of National Mapping, also undertook aerial photography campaigns. Through these campaigns, every part of Australia and its external territories was imaged at some point, and often repeatedly. Our collection dates back to the 1920s, with coverage across our diverse country and neighbouring region. Discover historical aerial photos through a user-friendly interface that provides straightforward access to the digitised photos and metadata. Key featuresInteractive map: Zoom and pan in the interactive map to explore historical aerial photos. Photo details: Click on any photo point to obtain details of that photo, as well as a link to the full-resolution scanned frame or lower resolution preview image (if digitised). Flight line details: Click on any flight line to obtains details of that run, including frame numbers captured. User-friendly interface: Designed for users of all levels, this app provides a streamlined and intuitive experience for exploring historical aerial photos.
