Well I guess that answered the question as it was posted to the list :),
 
Hi from the Land Down Under , My background is in IT for the last 30 years from way back in the days that they had punched paper tape and cards through to programming in different languages. I have recently joined a State Emergency Services group and the one thing I found  in the areas out of the city fringes  is the time taken to get to a location. I switched my IT career in 2004 to Aircraft Maintenance . Were I am located now there is no airfields around so I am back into the IT side and GPS Tracking Systems.  So combining both I saw a need for something like a Multirotor http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/ that can be sent to a site with a camera and just hover. I have also come across the following that intent to partake in next year as soon as the applications open. It is held here in Queensland Australia http://www.uavoutbackchallenge.com.au/ . The goal of the UAV Outback Challenge is to demonstrate the utility of Unmanned
Airborne Vehicles (UAVs) for civilian applications. The competitors will be required to develop a UAV that could save lives by quickly and cost effectively delivering medical supplies to critically ill patients in the Australian Outback.
 
Just a note that I have no financial nor any other type of interest in the about links.     
 
Alan
