Even the long runway at Trefoil Island is too short and rough for most twins, so the Drover must have been pretty capable in that regard. Austers and 185s were often used on Trefoil, and 206s when the strip was slashed and smooth. (And the Mutton Bird rookery didn't extend into the strip.)
That said, didn't a Drover come to grief on Trefoil in the 70s, ended up, I think, in a shed in Wynyard?
Always thought a Twin Pioneer would have been useful machine around the Hunter Group.
