Just back from a Flyway.

The highlight was landing at the Dig Tree.

Bomber was a real character. Interestingly Burke & Wills' lat & long were not far off todays GPS co-ordinates.

My stepson who is currently doing his CPL was flying this leg. I turned off the GPS, and he navigated successfully by the WAC.

I highly recommend this trip to all who can do it.

We then flew 20 NM to Innamincka for lunch. We had a great lunch, highly recommended. However lots of stones on the Innamincka town airstrip.
