Hi, I'll be straight up and state I'm not going to support this, for a variety of reasons. Firstly, I don't think our chapter is capable of producing a grant application to the standard WMF require for such a big area (education) in 10 days that addresses all the things WMF expect us to address.

This all reminds me that I really, really need to go through and upload all my southern Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth, Mandurah, Geraldton and Bunbury shots going back four years. Amazing how many you collect fully intending to upload to commons and it just never happens for one reason or another.
