Legs 141 to 145 saw me reach the Australian continent, which I explored in its north-eastern part, starting from the large Kakadu national park. From there, crossing thousands of kilometers of nothingness, I reached the northern end of the Sunshine Coast, in Queensland, following it south until I reached Brisbane first and Gold Coast immediately after. At that point a leap into the sea,
straight east, led me to Lord Howe Island and the impressive Ball’s Pyramid.

Leg 141: From New Guinea to Australia

Leg 142: Along the Gulf of Carpentaria

Leg 143: Towards the Coral Sea

Leg 144: Discovering the Sunshine Coast

Some time has passed between stage 146 and 150, especially since I was waiting for the release of Flight Simulator 2024, switching platform (starting from stage 148). On the travel front, it was a New Zealand interlude, with Australian openings and closures (Lord Howe Island at the beginning, Tasmania at the end). In between, the volcanoes, the Alps, and the coasts of New Zealand, with their extraordinary landscapes. And also two lovely sea crossings, which with the 339 are always an exercise in patience.
