Stillwater Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Yesterday I left the Australian mainland northbound towards the southern Torres Strait Islands: And there is more to discover. I couldn´t carry all passengers arriving with the Qantas flight in Horn Island, only the bravest. Maybe they already doubt if this was a good decision just after takeoff. Nevertheless we approach Warral Island, ... ... and avoid the forest landing here. Over 270 islands (with only about 14 inhabited) form the Torres Strait Islands, a remainder of what was the landbridge between Asia and Australia until about 6000 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torres_Strait_Islands Moa Island is one of the bigger. Badu Island has an airfield as well. And Mabuiag is almost a metropolis. They say there might be an airstrip on Gebbar Island as well. Hard to spot - and only Jack would bring a 747 to this place. Yam Island is definetively easier to land. Even for me. Surprising how fast this shower ended, though it is rain season. For the geography lovers: A map of the Strait. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Great leg and update Gerold! I love the screenshots and the dialog of course, but I REALLY appreciate the map and flight route I have often wished in the past that you had a map of your legs, but since this is your adventure, I wasn't about to request that Landon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
