Several people here talking about the "track trip" through the centre.
When I was based in Tennant Creek in 2008 one of the local storekeepers (who was sometimes the local airline agent) had a pin board at the back of his shop on which clippings about aviation were pinned up. One of the newspaper clippings was a photo showing three F27s' at the airport, TAA, Ansett and I think Bush Pilots but it may have been Connellan.
This was of course when Tennant Creek was a prosperous gold mining town hence the daily flights. One of the locals also told me a story of having to wait as a passenger until 3 am for the temperature to drop enough so that a F28 could depart. I bet that ruined the F & D times for the crew.
