It was just as much fun on Sunday night coming in. When the whole plane applauds when the wheels touch and stay on the ground you know you have a good pilot. I am sure a few people lost there dinner on the flight the other night

Last Friday at Mossman in FNQ at 4PM it started to rain as l set camp . Rained all night , packed up very wet . DONT BELIVE THE QLD  BS  ABOUT PERFECT 1 DAY CARP....
Rained all Saturday &  Sunday & the temp wasn't above 12C , l can do better in Vic . Drove through flooded roads up to 600MM deep & flowing fast .
Crossed into NSW at or about Nebel & the sun came out  21C , almost good weather .
What an underwhelming end to a great trip .

                              & l now have a cold too boot              .
