Exmouth, Tom Price and Karijini

Quick road trip up to Exmouth and stayed at Norwest Air Work at Exmouth. Nice to meet you guys at Coral Bay and good to catch up with you while I did my videoing of Exmouth. Flew a few flights of the Exmouth area and these are the screen grabs from the video's





















Had a bug smashing into my front cam of the help at about 140klm, look what he did to the cam and the shot



O well only lost the front cam on Yardie Creek, had other footage to use.
Here is the Exmouth video


Bit of a drive to Tom Price, but a very beautiful one driving in amongst the ranges. Turned up at Paraburdoo and look what this little place has

yep a Drive Inn

Arrived at Tom Price and met up with Warrant Officer Cameron Wagstaff from the B Troop Squadron of Tom Price. Great hospitality, invited me to the Anzac day breakfast at the Army Depot. I spent the morning cooking the barbeques with tinny for the troops , followed by a few sherbies later.

Organised the days to fly out to Karijini National Park and prepared for the two hr long flights
The flights were tuff stuff dealing with 2500ft altitude,hot thermal days and turbulence from the ranges. Its great that I have the camera's rolling because its flights like these that I don't get to enjoy it till I re-live it on the screen.
These are the screen grabs from the footage
































Two flights completed and a short stay at Tom Price while the weather broke and all done for Karijini Tom Price.
