SYDNEY IN SIGHT!

Weather in flight from Gold Coast to Sydney was perfect making for an amazing sight of Sydney harbor and the surrounding area from the air – our very own aerial flight of Sydney.


Upon arrival we transferred to the Park Hyatt Sydney, our home for the next 3 nights, offering us spectacular views of Sydney Opera House and the bustling harbor below. Pinch us please, these views are beyond.

ARE THERE KANGAROOS ON KANGAROO ISLAND?

Image
After settling in at the Ocean Lodge and a quick bite to eat, we launched on our quest for Kangaroos in the wild. We weren't sure what to expect, how many would we be able to see - this was a first visit for me and all the members of our group. Boy did it not disappoint... Here they are!  Our first spotting of the kangaroos, hundreds of them! They outnumber people who inhabit the island. They spend their days grazing the grass in the open fields. They are everywhere   When standing they are the size of a small adult.  This one has a joey in her belly, or a baby kangaroo! Australians call any baby marsupial a joey. A female kangaroo can be in charge of three babies at a time - an embryo in the body, a joey in the pouch and a baby outside of the pouch.

OFF TO THE MALDIVES IN THE INDIAN OCEAN

Image
This is the second shortest flight of the journey, shy of 500 nm a piece of cake. But with slot on arrival because of a single run way ( a second one is under construction to be open in 2018). I made changes after the briefing to the pilot and the changes contributed to an additional excess traffic to the airport. Peter and I left last from Mattala and we were told that we were #10 on the approach , to Hold at ARDIV and expected a landing clearance at 8:23 Z. After 5 hold circuit , a botched approach ( due to a ballon on the runway......) we landed at 8:54Z This was a great opportunity for many photos of the magnificent sea surrounding the Maldives. our flight path  polka dots from the sky Male, Maldives The point of view of Peter on the happenings for our arrival into the Maldives: All, We are very excited, today is the day we fly to the Maldives!
