At the time of writing, it appears that VH-UPH may have encountered a technical problem and it remains parked at Emerald Airport.

UPDATE!  On Tuesday 13 October, VH-UPH finally departed Emerald Airport for the Gold Coast.

Meanwhile, up the road at my local Clermont Aerodrome, privately operated Piper PA-31 Navajo VH-AYT visited from Townsville, also on Saturday 10 October.

Finally, a couple of Cessna Citation bizjets around CQ Airports also on Saturday 10 October, included locally-based Greensill Aviation Cessna 550 Citation Bravo bizjet VH-CCJ which was noted departing its Bundaberg Airport base for Brisbane.

At the time of writing, VH-CCJ is due to return to Bundaberg Airport from the capital on Sunday 11 October.

While recently re-registered BHMM Aviation Cessna 650 Citation VII bizjet VH-SSZ was noted flying into Hamilton Island Airport from the Gold Coast. 

UPDATE!  On Monday 12 October, VH-SSZ departed Hamilton Island Airport and returned to the Gold Coast.
