Subject: [LML] = Some Photos.

             =              
Some photos of my sol= o circumnavigation of continental Australia.
The trip data is included i= n Excel format.
After leaving Jandakot the weather at Mandurah was heavy= precipitation with
next to zero visibility and the GPS track shows how = far inland I was forced
because of low cloud before being able to  = turn South to Albany (not far
from Fred Moreno's joint).
However the = GPS tracks (both Garmin and AvMap) show I followed the coastline
closely= over the 8015.2 nautical miles in 42 hours 3 minutes and 14 seconds
on the Avmap= trip computer. That included a local flight in Perth which I
extracted = from the Garmin data to put into the trip data in Excel.
From Williamtow= n RAAF Base, where I was given permission to land for fuel,
the weather = on the coast to Horn Island at the top of Cape York Peninsula
was genera= lly pretty bad in passing showers and low cloud, so much of that
sector = was flown between 500 to 1500 feet and over water.
I wore a life jacket = at all times.
ATC was generally a pain in the neck and left the impressi= on that little
interest was taken in VFR operations at all.
This is u= nwise in my view.
The camera was unfortunately inadvertently left in my = wife's hands when I
departed Moorabbin and I did not retrieve it until s= he arrived to meet me in
Darwin, which accounts for the lack of Photos p= rior to there.
One of the great sights was flying up Victor 1 outside Sydney beaches and
heads at 500 feet. A Virgin B737 passed over= head as I passed Botany Bay, and
the city with the Centrepoint Tower was= quite a sight even though the
visibility was hazy. I once flew a B727 a= round the Centrepoint Tower at 1200
feet ( it's 1000 feet) giving the to= urists a great view of a great machine.
But that was a past life.
At = Williamtown my departure instructions were to turn downwind and track tothe beach at 2000 feet then up the beach to the exit point of the CTR.
= As I did so four F/A18 Hornets returned from a training sortie and circled<= BR>around in front of me at 2500 feet about one mile laterally. It was quit= e a
sight and the camera was IN MELBOURNE!!!!@#$%!
Cheers for now.Dom Crain

In for annual tomorrow.
