Ferry flight up north

Well the MAF orientation last week andwe were blessed to have an airvan down in the Melbourne area that needed transported back up north. And so last Monday we started the journey northbound and after 2 long days I finally breathed some northern territory air for the first time. Here's a few pics from the journey:

For the first part of the trip, Matt flew the airvan to Parkes (3 hrs) and I drove there in his ute (9hrs). Part of the trip was forest (recently burnt out by the fires), then turned out to remote desert.


From Parkes, we loaded the rest of out things on and headed north in the GA8 Airvan. In total we went from Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and finally the Northern Territory

Landing at Gove, my home for the next few years

Thanks for all that were praying for this trip. Everything went really smothly and couldn't have been better. I appreciate it!
