Both were flying pretty close together with A30-003 as "Wedgetail 15" being followed a short time later by A30-002 as "Mitchell 14".  Both aircraft flew up from and later returned to RAAF Base Williamtown, with A30-003 "Wedgetail 15" flying 'home' via a missed approach at Coffs Harbour.

Of interest, six Wedgetails are flown by the RAAF's No. 2 Squadron out of RAAF Base Williamtown, along a detachment also in the Northern Territory.
