Rockhampton-based CQUniversity student Lydia Georgeson has transformed an old map of the Capricorn Caves into a 3D version.
Ms Georgeson, who was studying a Bachelor of Science (Applied Biology), collaborated with her supervisors, faculty from the School of Engineering and IT and her employer Capricorn Caves, to update the old cave map.
She undertook this project as part of one of her university units.
“The original map for the caves was used for tours from the late 1940s and has never been updated,” she said.
The 23 year old said she used LiDAR scanner technology to develop the new 3D maps.
Dyrkacz, Bignell and Goossen will develop ideas for a short film or web series and learn the essential elements of short fiction screenwriting through workshops and one-on-one story editing consultations. Topics the course will cover include story structure, formatting, character development and other structural devices. By the end of the program they will have a well-developed script ready to pitch to funders, producers and production companies. One participant will also have their script produced by an NSI producer trainee in a future edition of the program. “The NSI is excited to welcome these northern storytellers to our virtual classroom today,” said program manager Ursula Lawson in a press release last Wednesday. “Steven and Rochelle are alumni from the first edition of NSI New Northern Voices so it’s great to further develop their skills, along with Ryan’s, as we work towards growing capacity within the screen industry in The Pas, Manitoba and surrounding areas.

Mid-Prairie took eight wrestlers to the Wilton Girls Tournament on Saturday. Seven came away with at least one win and two were class champions.
Sarah Meader won her second tournament title of the season, for Browyn Brenneman it was a first.
“This is (Brenneman’s) first year wrestling and she looked pretty good,” said Mid-Prairie wrestling coach Dylan Walther, who was in Wilton with the girls on Saturday.
“On Monday, she wrestled a girl that got fourth at state last year. It wasn’t that close by looking at the scoreboard but she was aggressive and just made a couple mistakes that made the margin pretty wide but she fought and battled and competed the whole match.
