Trip up to Brisbane and back
Several pictures will have this icon next to them, indicating an aerial photo.Mustang
Most of those aerial shots, were taken on my 1st solo nav to a new and unfamiliar destination, after I passed my pilots licence.
A memorable experience.



I drove up via the coast and stayed the night at Coffs Harbour.

Got up early the next day, and visited Muttonbird island. It's a natural reserve area, no walking on the ground, you have to follow the iron grid.

Slept the following night on the border of NSW and Queensland at Tweed Heads. I went body boarding at Surfers Paradise and finished up in Brisbane. I drove then the 900km back in one go, via the inland route. I saw several places I had flown to on my navigation excercises.
