Just a quick note to say thanks to all who prayed. I made it back in only 6.5 hrs, with tail winds and good weather the whole way home. Just after 1st light I headed off with the rising sun behind me. I avoided 3-4 hot air ballons in the area that where watching the sunrise, made my way over the mountains, across the barren coastal flats, around the Gulf of Carpentaria, and then followed the coast home.
The C206 that I was flying from Mareeba (Cairns) to Gove, NT.
Passing over the last of the mountains and heading towards the coastal flatlands area
After around 6 hrs and 2 fuel stops, I was back in familiar territory. Banyala community below means only 35 mins to go
Cheers to all who have been praying & supporting me not just for the ferry flight but also in the work here with MAF

Hi Nev
Just stumbled across your blog and wanted to say that I've enjoyed reading it.
I work for Wycliffe in the UK (where, by contrast, it's just started snowing), and know Noel and Catherine Carpenter - who were in the NT a year or so ago.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi.
Phil
