AU VFR Tour Day 7

Recommended Posts

My flight today was planned over the Kakadu into the Gulf and up past Weipa across to Murray Island then down the Coast to Cairns, got diverted to Mareeba on the Atherton tablelands due to some poor WX at YBCS, anyhow the posts are scattered and sparse due to my ongoing texture problem.

Croc infested swamps, not a good place for engine failure i`m guessing...!! This was my only single shot of the area that wasn`t corrupted by LC errors... oh well..

the journey down to cairns was a non event for scenery due to isolated storms and low cloud so i diverted to Mareeba for the night.

We are now fortunate to have three separate tours going on and I for one love it.  This tour around Australia is really beautiful and I especially like the narration.  I did see the AI, it was small plane off to the left of the shot.  Vey cool.  Where would I get this freeware?

 

Thanks for these as I love following along.

 

Best,

 

Jack
