Ah, mate .. welcome to what my world used to be .. thank heavens I get to sleep a sensible pattern these days as a semi-retired olde pharte. That trip we had numerous out and returns to Gambier and the north coast.
Best day I can recall on the north coast (different time) MEL was socked in by fog. Skipper was Captain Birdseed (an absolutely top bloke with whom to fly) .. he predicted the appropriate time to depart and we all went mushroom picking about the airfield, had breakfast, took off in a leisurely fashion .. and were still the first bird into MEL after the fog cleared.
