Cool - thanks for the heads up guys. Yeah looking now and yes it can be flown under the new regs without a licence, providing I stay more than 30m away from other people and keep it within line of sight. Might still look into the licence as well and just downloaded a great little program for the phone that lets you know if you are in a no fly area, download
Android here or
iOS here
One thing I cant work out yet is the laws apply for a small UAV - one over 1 kilo and less than 2 kilo. The Mavic is less than a kilo so do any of the laws apply at all? Will keep looking.
EDIT: Found it on the CASA website, the new rules are for 100gm to 2kg.
