In the dry season it looks like a salt pan. 120 * 55 km big.

But in the wet season it periodically becomes filled with water and attracts millions of animals.

Nice change of aircraft bet you watching engine temps during that flight!

Nah, if you just reduce prop speed that bird is easy to use. Not like the C-47, Catalina or Twotter...

Boy Gerold, you're really exploring this giant continent and I'm enjoying learning about it.

Thank you Jack. Indeed, giant distances, and sights far away from each other. Flying is a good way to explore, and would be much too expensive in reality...
