2017/10/28 Oz Day 22: Fraser Island back to Toowoomba via Sunshine Coast

π 2017-10-28 01:01 in Australia, Flying, Nflying, Ntrips, Ozsafari2017, Trips

After 21 days going around Australia, it was time to fly back to where we started: Toowoomba. We took a ferry back to mainland and Hervey Bay, got back to our planes, and went for a very scenic flight around Fraser Island, spotting wildlife from the air (Manta Rays, Turtles, and Whales).

Kingfisher Resort, where we stayed

the car ferry we had taken earlier

the lake we visited the previous day

very cool custom water plane

fly to the beach, walk away

lots of mantas

Thanks to reports from other pilots, we found a few whales:

awesome pretty

nice little runway on the other side of the island

We then flew back to the main coast:

big ass beach party

Eventually we got to sunshine coast

Ozzie world

kart racetrack

glasshouse mountain

And then back towards Toowoomba:

and the last landing of the trip.

After 37H of flying and 20 landings later, we got back "home" in Towoomba.
It was a great flying trip, kudos to Clare McEwan from airsafarisint for organizing it.
