He has either four or five R44s - can't recall which. Some based in the Cairns area and some at Horn Island in Torres Straits.
Pretty busy operation mostly doing contract work with Telstra, and other telecommunications companiestaking technicians to service repeater stations etc.
Also stringing power lines with Ergon and survey work (crocodile counting and the like ) with National parks and wildlife etc.

Also runs helifishing trips taking anglers out into the wilds of Nth. Qld. But doesn't do as much of that any more.

Doesn't do any mustering and most of the work is cruisy sort of stuff. Not the sort of wild and machine stressing sort of action that musterers get up to.
