Hello darkness my old friend

Avisure has been using thermo-optical equipment for more than 20 years. At night, it’s an effective way to see what the naked eye can’t. So many birds, flying fox and mammals are nocturnal and it’s not until you adopt suitable equipment at your airport that you become aware of the threats these animals pose to aircraft operations.

Wildlife safety and weather

Our sunburnt country is certainly living up to Dorothea Mackellar’s famous description as a ‘land of droughts and flooding rains’. While many areas in the southern states are enduring record high temperatures and fires, to the north, in contrast, flooding rains have meant swollen rivers and waterlogged soil.

Pippy to the rescue

Pippy, Avisure’s highly efficient and energetic dispersal dog, had a tough start to life. When wildlife biologist and team leader, Jess Radford, selected a then 3-months-old Pippy at the shelter, Jess was her third owner.
