It appears that the Wedgetail flew up directly from RAAF Base Williamtown at Newcastle.  After completing the airwork, A30-003 departed Gladstone Airport and completed more airwork at RAAF Base Amberley before then returning to Williamtown.

Of interest, A30-003 was noted to be using the radio callsign of "Wedgetail 03".
