This time I expected a big country, I didn’t expect so much emptiness in the Northern Territory. I have to be careful not to overwrite my screenshots. I already did at least once since everything is named the same! Maybe a flaw in Google maps, it’s also very hard to find any on the ground pictures. Plenty air strips, not a lot of people around.
Kununurra departure
Over Mirima National Park
Coming up on the Forest river
River through a forest, the Forest river
Oombulgurri Airport ahead, very easy to spot landing strips here
Faraway Bay
Long Island, no medium on this one, or maybe there is
Borda island
Approaching Mitchell Plateau, north-west Australia
Over Drysdale River
Gibb, not that far from Mount Elizabeth which shows as a red question mark on Google maps
I didn’t spot a mountain peak either. “The best steak on the gibb” is the only comment.
Mount Barnet Airport next to Barnett river and Kupungarri Community
Mount hart station
Over Kimbolton flying towards the Indian ocean

It can be more green here as well
