JG3 Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 In May I did a flying trip in my Savannah from Kilcoy, SE Qld, across the center to Shark Bay, then around about the Kimberley and Pilbara, then back home across the center.

Brett Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 fantastic pics,,, what an adventure ,,if your ever over in WA again please drop by Geraldton,,,
rgmwa Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Fantastic trip John, and some great photos. That Savvy of yours is a real 4WD of the air. Although you travel light and make it sound easy, I reckon it would take a fair bit of aviating skill and a lot of preparation to do a trip like that. rgmwa
pudestcon Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Absolutely spectacular photos John! What a great trip. Thank you for sharing. Pud
jerrajerra Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 wow! fantastic. could tell you so much about newman and tom price, phed. never seen aerial shots like that in my backyard. your webpage is now on my favourites tab :)
robinsm Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 What an amazing, awesome trip. Great one for the bucket list. Now, if only the Xair could carry that much fuel between stops...? hmmmmm.
Guest JRMobile Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Thanks for sharing John, truly inspirational. The Savy is still looking in top condition. We will stay tuned for your next adventure!
GregF Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Awesome as usual John, Thanks for sharing! Cheers Greg
Cosmick Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Very impressive JG, both the photo's and the capability of the Savannah
mAgNeToDrOp Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Great photos, would make a great read if you were to submit an article to the mag :)
Guest mark gray Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 John, the pics are bloody awsome! Tremendous effort by you and your machine.

wanabigaplane Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Wow. I had to look through the lot. Fantastic trip. Thanks for the post. Jack.
sseeker Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Fantastic photos, really enjoyed looking through them. Must go up that way myself, views around Exmouth/Ningaloo are fantastic -Andrew Also, you wouldn't happen to know if one of the registrations on those corporate jets was VH-ACE?

Doing a similar thing on our trips I realise the effort required to make the shots interesting for others , but you seem to have this ability . A marvellous record of your trip and once again well done . Bob
Jabiru Phil Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Words have already been said, I can't improve on them. It brought back memories of my trip to the Kimberly and Canning with far better pics than I took, Thank a million for sharing. Question, How did you get the weather map of the storm activity on your i-Phone? Full page? Phil
Jabiru Phil Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Just realised the stupid question on "full page" expand it! but weather site has me guessing still.
JG3 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Just realised the stupid question on "full page" expand it!but weather site has me guessing still. It's this weather site. On BOM 'Land and Water' My favorite, with coloured pictures instead of coded jiberish. I've been watching it for several years, and find it's forecasts very accurate. http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/watl/rainfall/pme.jsp There's also a very good wind site along with it at http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/watl/wind/index.jsp JG
blueshed Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Great To Have A Look, fantastic photo's with good info, loved the strip on the island, have to take the lawn mower next time!! Thank You So Much! JG Just done a quick trip with the family out to Charlieville,Longreach and home via Moonie in the wife's 182!
