The Oz tourists start their trip


Stillwater

Recommended Posts

More or less the closest point to Asia where the tourists could start: Darwin.

Now the IFR part of the day, Arnhem Highway...

Some (dry) Billabongs around...

... and here we should see East Alligator River. But... no water in September. And where are the name-giving animals?

At least the touristic AI is installed & flying.

Beautiful set Gerold.

We shall look forwards to your tour of Oz and maybe we shall cross paths somewhere and some when!

Why Alligator River? We have a certain Lt Phillip Parker King to thank for this as in 1820 he thought the big reptiles in the water were Alligators.

Alligators or Crocodiles they are best given a wide berth although the fresh water Crocs will not attack you.

A area you know very well Gerold from all of your terrific posts from AU through the years . :):)

Cheers

Indeed I have not been flying over Kakadu NP yet, as it has not been OZx-upgraded and there is not much to see in the sim. I use this as real-holiday trial...B)

Nice shots, gonna be a long trip, when you get to Devonport drop in and say hi

That would be long, if I did not have other planes in the hangar. Maybe time to use the SR-71 now...

Love these shots Gerold, and I love that paint on that aircraft! Looks marvelous!

Thanks Sniper. One of my favourite liveries for the 185.

Thanks for your history knowledge, but even more for your kind hints to avoid croc encounters. Perhaps the safest way is to travel only virtually...

Beautiful part of the world Gerold and another nice narrated tour, I have to start doing more narration, it really adds a lot to the immersion.

For me it adds to the simming experience, too. When flying I already begin to think of the subsequent post...

I need to find the time to fly more, been so darned busy lately.

I have to somehow make it a priority 

Don´t worry mate, I had that trouble over summer. Never stress yourself, you will easily return when you have the time to enjoy.
