The Home of Photos in Dunnunda! Mk I

Tjukayirla Roadhouse

pronounced dook-a-heel-a

ga_trojan was correct - and it is sealed in the photo - the photo's size reduction makes it difficult.

Can't be that lucky Yakka, I've got a shot almost the same!!!!


And yes, tjuntjunjarra has a sealed pad. I remember more than one controller saying "TeeJunT...Chunch...ahhh....Yankee Tango Juliet Uniform...."

Too many GAS pilots in this thread...

Too Many GAS Pilots!

God help the world!

Incidentally where are most of the late 90s, ex-GAS pilots these days?

A good question for ToweringQ I'd say Lionel

Ah, Tjunjun. roll out the barrel and pump like hell.
I got stuck at Tjukayirla for three days due weather. before it had a strip. I landed about where the current strip is, but it was just a road then. made for an interesting departure too. I have some great super low level photos from then, but they have to be scanned.
Not all of us in the desert have worked for GAS. not for want of trying though.

I realise it must seem that way but I can only identify 2 frequenting this thread.

All over the place...VB, QF, REX, CX, XR, Aerorescue, NJS and even Royal Brunei.

Under the wire!

[SmokingHole]

You're obviously not still in the desert PW. Rekon that's an Ag Cat

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Here's a nice arty one!

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Where is?

[Chimbu chuckles]

Atherton Tablelands somewhere...Mareeba?

[squawk6969]

OK lemme guess......I reckon I have seen that ugly mug under the red hat before.

So is it YATN? And the sunrise is over the top of Hinchinbrook.

Do I get a lollypop teach!

SQ

[the wizard of auz]

I reckon its a thrush, not an agcat....... that looks very familiar...... well the cockpit does.

[short-field]

Where on Australia's coastline is this?

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Chuckles is close - cept YMBA is sealed.
Squarky's on the money!

"And the sunrise is over the top of Hinchinbrook"

Dunno! That's a very good guess (throws the Squarka a lollipop)!
Its either the northern tip of Hinchinbrook or the northern tip of Orpheus Is.

I guess I'll just have to go back and take another look.

Interesting that there is no Terrain Warning on the GNS430 given that there is a hill off to the right! I guess it has somehow figured that I am going to land!

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Tip of Hinchinbrook it is - smartarse!

Too easy Short Field! Its right on the edge of the costline.

Where's this?

[compressor stall]

Short Field - Just north of Strachan....
Pretty sure that one of FTDK's is north top of Hinchinbrook - Brook Islands in teh background..

[Lefthanded_Rock_Thrower]

Atherton from the North.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Hey, you guys are good!
