After some time on the ground, VH-WIO later returned to Bankstown.

While Machjet (Machjet International) Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 bizjet VH-SIY also visited Hamilton Island Airport but from the Sunshine Coast.

And late on Monday 12 June, Gulf Coast Aviation Cessna 510 Citation Mustang bizjet VH-KXM landed at Longreach Airport from Mungindi before it then departed to Tennant Creek and Fitzroy Crossing.

Meanwhile, also on Tuesday 13 June, FKG Air (Redjet Aviation) Hawker Beechcraft B200GT VH-FKB flew up from Toowoomba and Chinchilla Aerodrome to my local Clermont Aerodrome and then Kidston.  It then flew down to Charters Towers Aerodrome and back to Clermont, Chinchilla and Toowoomba Airports. 

Whitney Pastoral Co Cessna 206 VH-WPC landed at Longreach Airport from then Sunshine Coast before then departing further to the North-West.

Brescon (Toowoomba) Beech B200 King Air VH-WXB arrived into the Labona Station Airstrip within Adani Australia's (Bravus Mining & Resources) Carmichael Coal Mine site from Toowoomba-Wellcamp and Archerfield before later departing to Bowen Aerodrome.  It is due to return to Archerfield and Wellcamp on Wednesday 14 June.

And Brisbane-based Hewitt Cattle Australia P/L SOCATA TBM 700 VH-PGA popped into Longreach Airport after flying down from the North-West.  It then departed to Archerfield.  It appears to have flown up that way the previous day.

And finally, also on Tuesday 13 June, the usual Tuesday Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) charter flights took place yet again...

Southern Air Beech 1900 VH-YSO visited Moranbah Airport.  It arrived from Latrobe Valley and Bourke and then departed back to Latrobe Valley and then eventually to Melbourne (Moorabbin).

DeGunst Transport P/L Textron (Cessna) 208 Caravan VH-NPZ operated from Bundaberg Airport to Mackay Airport and then to Nebo Aerodrome.  It then returned directly to Bundy.  Of interest, on Saturday 10 June, VH-NPZ looked to complete a flight from Bundaberg Airport to Gladstone Airport and back.

While Hinterland Aviation Cessna 208 Caravan VH-HLL looked to fly down to Mackay Airport from Townsville and then to the Labona Station Airstrip within Adani Australia's (Bravus Mining & Resources) Carmichael Coal Mine site and back to Mackay Airport and Townsville as HND290/1/2/3.

UPDATE!  On Wednesday 14 June, fellow Hinterland Aviation Cessna 208 Caravan VH-JES also operated flights between Mackay Airport to Labona and Townsville as HND280/1/2/3.

And Aerlink (formerly Hevilift) ATR 72-500 turboprop VH-FVH looked to complete a flight from Moranbah Airport to Mackay Airport and back to Moranbah.
