Hi All
Once again it is time to let you all know what we have been up to.
On the 29Th of October I started a little trek to Ceduna which is in South Australia and nearly 1000 nautical miles away. The first leg was from Home to Coolgardie where I was met by Rod and Tania Higgins and their family Rod was my copilot for the rest of the trip the reason for this was to go and pick up Rods Hornet 19-4251 after her heart transplant from Rotec to Rotax .



Due to some unusual weather conditions we were grounded untill the 1st of November. we departed Coolgardie at 6 am heading for Balladonia after some recalculations we diverted to Norseman . This airfield is situated on a lake about 4 km from town. Rod and I walked to town for fuel and back again thankfully a kind local gave us a lift back to the airfield.


From Norseman it was on to Balladonia a quick refuel for us and the aeroplane .





Then from Balladonia to Cocklebiddy where we stayed for the night note the only available tiedowns, and on this leg we also found HELL.
This is the end of day one.
