VH-KDK Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Thank you Gerold, with your shots from Lord Howe Island, for giving me the idea of flying there myself. This is my first long flight over the water so I have chosen on old trusted friend to get me there. Just hope the trip is worth it! 1. Point of departure is Coffs Harbour. 2. First time here so I will have a quick look at the hinterland. 3. 4. Passing over Coffs and heading out to sea. 5. 6. A last glimpse of the Australian mainland. 7. Now nearly 30 years old KDK was the first 340 in the Southern Hemisphere. 8. Starting the descent into Lord Howe Island. 9. First view of the island through the haze, bottom centre. 10. North Bay. 11. Blackbird Island. 12. Undershooting is not an option here. 13. With a population of only 348 I think the barbed wire is to keep the few remaining feral goats off the runway. 14. After my best landing in the SAAB a short taxi to the terminal. 15. Some views around the airport. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Nice pictures of Coffs (an ad for me...), #6 and #18 are stunners (for different reasons)! The tour takes some time (at least we are not going there with a sailboat - imagine the first settlement). BTW: thanks for the additional facts about Howe!

Must have been hard then, and we complain now! Had the same thoughts when I went on my first camping trip, over 40C and I thought then about the old days. Great Set, the Water is Amazing !!! +1 Great shots Martyn. cheers Iain Beautiful shots , great scenery, thanks for the tour Many thanks for your great comments, they are so much appreciated.
