Need license and permission to fly em in National Parks, State Forest apparently. Some crashes have started bush fires and hefty fines have been imposed.

Stefan Fischer of Alloffroad has recently done the course and flies the same mavic pro.

Other than that, it's a great piece of kit. Need to make more time to edit the videos..

Drones, fines and an app – A drone operator has been fined almost $2000 for crashing his drone and starting a bushfire, in the latest offence involving remotely piloted aircraft. It was the fourth fine issued this year by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), as a Senate inquiry examines their use and regulation. The Herald Sun reported that CASA will release an app later this year to help users identify whether they were operating their drone legally, and alert users if they’re in restricted airspace or too close to an airport or operating in a flight path.
