Cairns - God's own country

Violet Vale - Near Musgrave central Cape York

Cloncurry - Cold beers and big steaks at the PO. Necta!

Bulloo Downs - (SW Qld) "Hey pilot wheel dem bullocks this a way"

Weipa - Great fishin. No chicks, too many angry miners.

Horn Island - CRAZY! Excellent rock climbing (bring ya first aid)

Cairns - Home again

Townsville - We're goin to the mad cow shaggs, bring Fat Cat and lowe !

Sydney - IMHO best seen from jump seat on way to Paris!


And all going well back to cs very soon.

SC

No jack when i was there in 97. But we did have a nasty camp cook called Cheryl who spent her whole life in Thargomindah and has never seen the sea. Also a whole gang of cattle throwin, ugly shelia r@@tin and warm beer drinkin ringers to keep me amused.

Spent a fair bit of time at Nappa Merrie (site of the dig tree near Innaminca for those who don't sabe) and that was great too. Best fun flying I've ever had.

Richo we may of just missed each other, I arrived in Halls Creek (Hells Cr*ck) in Jan 1999 then left in early March( C310R ), did you know any Kingfischer Pilots? I knew Nugget from Ord Air hes now in ChowMein Country the lucky ******.

Keep up the posts guys very interesting. I think Aussie Pilots would have to be the most travelled, buy the looks of things.

Regards
Sheep
