Rockhampton is a perfect place to start a tour over the southern Great Barrier Reef islands.

But first we had to come clear from the exploiting industry at East End Mine, ...

... and Tannum Sands. I do not know what this red lake is, have to check a guide book.

However, just ahead of all this is Heron Island.

No, Bernd with his yacht "Münster" was not here yet!

That one looked so inviting, I had to stop there and go for a swim.

But as I did not have an accomodation booked on the island, I went on towards the mainland at Burnett Heads...

... crossed the river of the same name...

... and reached Bundaberg. If I might get a drink there?

I see you busted out the race car plane for this flight Gerold. Slick! Looks like a flight with some very nice view of those islands and a nice place to end your flight at. Also looks like weather was cooperative ;)

Great trip, Gerold. The Great Barrier Reef looks quite convincing with the Orbx treatment.

Thank you Bernd. Indeed, the Orbx treatment is the key for enhancing P3D.

Thanks Landon. Sure this was a nice flight, and the rum in Bundaberg is top-class... :ph34r:;D
