Great to read of your adventures in Oz. I spent a while in Perth, and I remember flying up to Karratha with Ansett on a BAE146 before getting on a helicopter to fly offshore to the Goodwyn. I seem to remember the helicopter operator was Lloyd, but I can't recall the type of helicopter they flew.
As to those who have no wish to fly in helicopters, all I can say is that I worked offshore for 30+ years, and apart from a few minor issues, I had no problems at all. I flew in many types, my favourites being the ubiquitous S61, Bell 214ST and the Bolkow BO105. Bristow were still flying S58's when I started.
