Argle Dam and Kununurra area
With the Bungle Bungles done it was up further towards Kununurra. The ranges around Argle were beautiful. Once again the wind made flights a little scary and bumpy at times . Here are a few screen shots.

Bungle Bungles
The Bungle Bungle first flight was horrible with next to no wind on the ground and twenty knots gusting up to god now how much. I couldn't keep the helicopter still, let alone try and get close enough to film. I re-flew it another two times with no wind and I was able to get the footage I wanted for the video
These are the screen shots off the vids

Larrawa Station Halls Creek (cattle mustering)
I met a lovely lady and her sons on the side of the road out of Fitzroy Crossing who invited me to stay at their Station stay half way between fitzroy and halls creek. I arrived to their cattle station were I was hoping to get some great footage of muster operations.
I spent around a week at the station flying out to their muster area and back. I was glad to be allowed to join in with their muster of cattle from one destination to another.
These are a few screen grabs fro the footage taken on the muster
Whilst on a day away from the muster I flew my chopper to a peak and landed on it. I took out the drone and flew it up to take these two pics. A bucket list tick for me on this trip to land on an outcrop
After completing the muster I put this video together
Cattle Station Mustering completed and of towards Hall Creek to get fuel and a few supplies.
Drove to a point closest to get out to Wolf Creek Crater
The flight out was terrible, It was only a gentle breeze but after I had taken off the wind gusts became stronger. So… Up I went cruising at 5000ft , arriving at the crater I defended down to 500 above the ground to find I had a stiff cyclic control. A little spookie as I was flying over the crater my radio started crackling. Time to land asap. Found nothing wrong except a dirty connection on the radio headset. Being a little put off I headed back to the trailer. I then upon investigation realise that the slider ball had become tight on its adjustment. (temperature change)
Fixed those issues and of to the Bungle Bungles.
