Alarm clock

A Caravan comes over my house every morning (Mooloolaba Q) 6am like clockwork. Anyone know if its a Toll aircraft? Tracking north, I would assume out of Brisbane for YBSU and beyond.

I feel for the poor bugger some atrocious mornings, and think to myself....better him than me today.

It goes Gold Coast - Maroochy (sorry, Sunshine Coast) - Theodore and return daily. Sometimes two aircraft. I live near Eumundi and see them often too....

Dora, yes I think the second aircraft may be a "flying cigarette"...Metro 23.

Not Toll's. No C208s in their fleet, plus 6am is LATE for a Toll departure. Northbound from BNE, mates of mine depart around 2am.

My alarm clock is usually a Trislander - those things would wake me even if I was dead.

Whilst we're on the subject...

Every night (Mon-Fri) around midnight, I hear the sweet, sweet sound of a pair of GTSIOs heading north out of YSSY.

Anyone know what it is and where it goes? I assumed it was a C404 doing freight?
