Dog, It does look like Balidu, that's were the operation is based too.
Any guesses for #3?
Sorry Trent I missed that!
Not Townsville either, but It does look similar in the photo.
Not taken by the Townsville refueller either! I took the shot with a disposable on the way out to my aircraft.

Agreed, a 182. Full stop. As opposed to the A model.
From Wiki: The Cessna 182 was introduced in 1956 as a tricycle variant of the 180.
In 1957, the 182A variant was introduced along with the name Skylane.

So I know where you were yesterday OZBusDriver 
The photo was an ad-hoc snap so I wasn't actually aiming to get specific figures or showcase the performance. I think it was just at the end of the climb so high revs without the speed to match. It was a quick 11 mile flight
It's a nice machine in flight and fairly well equipped, not overly bumpy, just a little ugly. The aircraft and I soon became "one" in terms of handling. My only complaints are the vibrations it has because it's a little "tinny" compared to a carbon aircraft that I'm used to. Has good luggage space, moderate comfort and reasonable visibility which could be a little better if the wing wasn't so far forward.

Can tell you that AT-802 VH-EOG and sister ship VH-EDG both now call Emerald home.

BTW, photo #3 was at RAAF Amberley, outside AMS in 2001.
A 'Familiar rego'.....
VH-EOG, used to be a FU24A, Fletcher. This one was a survey aircraft and was at JT for a year or so, just 'sitting'.
Ye Olde Log Book says I did an 'Endorsement' March 18 1970. It was a single seat of course, so the deal was the CFI was to fly it for an hour or so, then come back and tell me how it flew, then I would fly it for an hour or so, and he would sign me off....(The days of 'endorsements'...)
Well, all of that happened, and that afternoon I departed JT for BK, via 'stops numerii' because it held 36 gals @ 12 GPH.....and it had a definite 'step'.
In normal 'waffling' turb. flight in the lower levels - 87kts IAS.
Get a smooth patch and get it 'on the step' - 100kts IAS.
Interesting and enjoyable flight.
Cheers
