The Rains Are Here Marge!
Having a look at the rainfall charts over in the west looks like good rain for the past few days, 3" in places , can any one confirm how it is shaping up over there?
Hopefully its going to be another good one, so get those ferry kits on boys and girls, and its off to the wild wild west! yeeeehaaa!!!

Looks like you'll have the whole country over there again this year! No sign of rain over here in NW NSW. Very depressing. 
Heard some pretty wild stories about last season over there. I have even heard one pilot made $70k in a month! Was that you Max? I cannot imagine that it would be posible or legal!
Looks like WA & SA will some quite a few more ar$e$ again this year.

Well there you go, so its not just the cotton pilots that earn all the big money now!!! Well I am pretty sure I know who this guy is and he is a cotton pilot, so lucky him!
Oh well, the upside is I won't have his tax problem

Howdy All,
This is very exciting, we have our own place to call home now!
THANKS PPRuNe!
I have heard the same stories about who I am guessing is the same guy we are talking about! I heard $70k.
What about flight & duty?
?
PTSP!
