I first flew over big red, where we had gone for sunset the previous evening
by then I had a nice tailwind and was doing 159kts on a 125kt plane
when flying down lake eyre, I clocked a peak 169kt in level flight at 2500ft. Not bad for a 172 :)
finally arrived at William Creek
special planes with magnetic detection probes to do land surveying for minerals
most people arrive to William Creek the hard way, through harduous 4WD tracks
