It was flying as "Wedgetail 05" and looked to fly up from RAAF Williamtown to complete the airwork which included a couple of circuits and missed approaches.  It then departed to RAAF Base Amberley before later returning to Williamtown.

UPDATE!  On Wednesday 30 August, RAAF Wedgetail A30-005, this time as "Wedgetail 12", was back completing more airwork at Hervey Bay Airport while on a flight out of Williamtown and then back there but via further airwork at Coffs Harbour.
