Hi Pierre
Its not often that you get the chance to fly into a public park in front of a central business district. Crossing Australia was worth it, not least because the scenery on the way over is just spectacular...
Nullabor - where the desert meets the Southern Ocean:

Coastal dunes near Eucla:

Granite outcrops and beaches near Esperence:

and Forrest - A big airstrip for a town with a poulation of two! There are 6 houses. One accommodates the manager and his wife and the other 5 provide accommodation for visitors.....

A trip worth every drip of Avgas!
Cheers
Jon
