Kununurra Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hi JG, I was also in YBDV, I flew in Thursday & left Monday. It was a very windy day for arrival on Thursday with a strong X-Wind blowing on our arrival. We tracked from Bindoon (Perth) to Kalgoorlie-Forrest -William Creek -Birdsville, coming back we went direct to Coober Peedy - Forrest-Kalgoorlie-Albany, West to East great tailwinds at 9,500 around 35-40kts.

JG3 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Pretty remote country. Nev. It's all back paddock to someone. They manage their cattle and sheep down there, and call it home. I always take note of water points and the vehicle tracks that lead toward a homestead. Those locals are the most capable to access the country. I have instructions to the recipients of my SPOT messager to first try to contact those station owners if I message that I'm down and stranded and need assistance. And I carry cash to be able to pay for that assistance...... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kununurra Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Good on you sir a little thumpy on that route i,d think eh. West to East went quickly coming back it was a bit bumpy for a while so we climbed up to avoid the bumps and the headwind hit us, all in all it was a great trip very enjoyable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
