[OZAPRS] My weekend away

[Darryl Smith]

People

I went away for the weekend... Flying in a Van's RV7 that I helped build. We
did not have an APRS tracker, but did have a satellite tracker.
Unfortunately it was only turned on for day two and three. Maybe next time
we will take a HF tracker of some sort.

The flight details were

	Friday
		Sydney to Broken Hill - mostly in cloud
	Saturday
		Broken Hill to Andamooka for lunch
			Via Lake Frome and Lake Torrens
		Andamooka to Coober Pedy
			Via Lake Eyre South and south of Lake Eyre North
	Sunday
		Coober Pedy to White Cliffs
			Via Lake Eyre North, Cooper's Creek, Cameron's
Corner
		White Cliffs to Sydney - Mostly in clouds

As you can imagine I got tons of great photos. It was a pity that the rain
on Friday meant that we could not land at Cameron's Corner as it damaged the
strip. It was strange to see the deserts of NSW and South Australia quite
wet. I should warn anyone looking at visiting to do it PDQ as the water is
disappearing. Also, many of the roads are cut. I think the Oodnadatta Track
was closed yesterday from what we saw, and the Birdsville Track was very wet
in places.
