ZK-CDM appears to be based at Blenheim in New Zealand and crossed the 'ditch' landing at the Gold Coast during this last week after completing a 10+ hour flight via a fuel stop at Norfolk Island.

UPDATE!  ZK-CDM continued up to Far North Queensland and then across to the Northern Territory and Western Australia before returning back to the East Coast of Australia through the 'Red Centre' of Australia.  It then cross back to New Zealand from the Gold Coast 'direct' taking just over 8 hours to complete the crossing!

Meanwhile, also on Sunday 11 August, Adelaide based Bruce Hartwig Flying School Piper PA-46-350P Malibu VH-NGG landed at Longreach Airport from Birdsville.  It had flown up from Adelaide (Parafield) yesterday.

And New South Wales based Piper PA-32-300 Saratoga VH-CDK and PA-28-236 Dakota both landed at Gladstone Airport from Caloundra. VH-TKX then departed to Hamilton Island Airport.
