[Vk5-wx-sonde] RS_R3740386 Recovered

[Paul Roehrs]

Enjoy,  I have wasted enough fuel for the weekend.

The two Friday morning sondes are probably still on the ground.  The one 
near the Gawler River should be easy enough if you can find somebody 
home in the house near the bridge.
I was not keen enough to try knocking on the door on a Friday and there 
were horses in the paddock between the house and the sonde paddock.  Not 
a good area to go wandering around without permission and the River can 
only be crossed on the bridge.

The one just north of Two Wells was too far off the road to see with 
binoculars and it also could have already been picked up.  I told Mike 
Hawkey (Science teacher at Two Wells Primary School) about it but he was 
on a seminar in Adelaide so he may or may not have picked it up.

I put the photo of the blue balloon on the sonde group but it requires 
moderation so here is another photo but it is still 5.8mb
