Have a look through the CASA Aircraft Register.

Just use CTRL + F and search using DHC-6.

There is one at Wilton too. A parachute a/c with a big sexxy eagle painted all down the side. Looks absolutely stunning to watch the diving "eagle" race the freefallers back down to earth.

Whitaker Air Charter used to operate Twotters out of Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Bundy and Rockvegas.

As previously mentioned, there are two twin otters in Toowoomba. They are operated by Eastland Airlines with one doing RPT to Brisbane, and I think the other one (Which is now sitting at TWB airport) used to be with Wimray doing DN to Bathurst runs.

Goldfish, if you want more info, please email me.

Cheers
