Albury to cairns

[stevron]

A 610 Brumby and a 230 Jabaru left Albury for a out back excursion. We meet up at Cobar for our first stop , fuel and a check over prior to continuing. The next stop and over night stay was at Thargomindah ( a very good airport but the facilities were locked)we ended up turning our stay into 2 nights, the motel manager offered us the use of a Ute , we did not take this up but we were just as happy to walk the township. After leaving Thargomindah we flew to Noccundera pub and taxied up to the pub for a coffee and a pie ( it was to early for alcohol- for us oldies) . On leaving Noccundera we flew to innamincka exploring water ways and the land scape.

I flew to Windora at 8500’ viewing the fantastic greenery of the waterways. We fuelled at Windorah then flew to Jundah for an overnight stop, next morning after some minor maintenance we flew to Barcaldine for fuel then on to Mareeba for our final destination. 

We finally had to leave Cairns and return to Albury. Our trip to Albury was uneventful, fuelling at Mareeba , Barcaldine, Bourke and Albury.  Prawns , oysters  etc were consumed with eagerness in Cairns , it was sad to be back home . All the airstrips were in fantastic condition. All the people met on the way were helpful and friendly— Stevron minor maintenance.
