Corrections and Clarifications

M&M 9, July 2000, p 17: The caption should have noted that Apogee in Adelaide retains distribution rights for EarthWatch Inc, notwithstanding that LandInfo will distribute the product. Apogee retains distribution rights in Malaysia and South Africa as well as to the Australian military.

M&M 8, May 2000, p35: The article 'The Last of the Breed' asserted that Len Beadell 'chose the site centred on present day Woomera'. In fact, Beadell had no part in the decision, although he was involved in subsequent surveys.
