Ahh NTK, the trusty C206 seen landing in the Coomera River. I have some pics of the old girl that I will post up later.
Quite a few float pilots have cut their teeth on that Machine!

hmmm... lemme see...
short finals and discussing how you hope those bloody gloves don't break again when you're armpit-deep in a cow's bits?
Just a guess ;-)

PS: and a bonus point if you can guess the topic of conversation right then (nothing sterile about my cockpit !).

Burketown it is!
A first for me - flown over it a few times but never landed there before. What a top spot - the aerodrome at least. Clean toilets and a credit card bowser that actually works - one up on our national capital there! I was surprised by the number of aeroplanes parked there.
Conversation was something like: "Look at that! We could chuck lures and catch a Barra right off the end of the runway"!
Arnold, that hand belongs to my techie and fishing mate - looks pretty relaxed to me! He has flown all over northern Australia with me. Only time I have seen him get a little nervous was 1) when we nearly gave a big roo that ran in front of the aeroplane a haircut, and 2) when we had to put down on a road north-west of Charters Towers.

While we're on the topic of Burketown..... here are a couple of shots from the last wet season.
And just for a bit if fun.....
The result of a Bush Turkey vs a King Air..... luck it only got it's head wraped around the left main in the flair and missed the prop!

Hitting one of them would really ruin your day.

Morno.... correct on both. I can see i'll have to make them a bit harder!
That shot of Doomadgee was before they put the RNAV in..... we used to have fun trying to get in there before that!
