At the time of writing, it appears that VH-UPH is spending at least the night on Hamo.

UPDATE!  VH-UPH departed Hamilton Island Airport and returned to the Gold Coast on Monday 21 September.

Meanwhile, also on Friday 18 September, Mackellar Mining Equipment / Flight Options (Australia) Cessna 560 Citation Ultra bizjet VH-MMC was back in CQ, this time calling into my local Clermont Aerodrome from its Sunshine Coast base.  It returned there a little later in the afternoon.

As mentioned below, VH-MMC called into Middlemount Aerodrome on Wednesday 16 September.

The visit of VH-MMC to Clermont Aerodrome coincided with Hinterland Aviation Cessna 208 VH-NDC calling from the Labona Station Airstrip within Adani Australia's Carmichael Coal Mine site.  It arrived as HND631 and later departed to Rockhampton Airport as HND632.

As mentioned below, fellow Hinterland Aviation Cessna 208 Caravan VH-LZK popped into Clermont Aerodrome early on Thursday 17 September as HND610 before departing to Labona as HND611.

Another Hinterland Aviation visitor but to Rockhampton Airport, also on Friday 18 September, was Cessna 310R VH-TFY which arrived from Townsville as HND835.  It then departed to Mackay Airport and then Cairns.

Finally, also at Rockhampton Airport, also on Friday 18 September, Austrek Aviation Beech B200 King Air VH-ZMW was noted departing to Toowoomba after arriving from there on Wednesday 16 September.
