On Monday 16 May, a pair of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Alenia C-27J Spartan transport aircraft were both spotted visiting Rockhampton Airport.
Spartan A34-002 as "Wallaby 42" flew up from RAAF Base Amberley to land at Rockhampton Airport.
It then departed, bound for Darwin, but was re-tasked to RAAF Base Tindal at Katherine. It later continued to Darwin.
Later, Spartan A34-010 as "Wallaby 67" was also spotted arriving into Rockhampton Airport. It arrived from Townsville.
It then returned to Townsville before completing a return flight to Charters Towers Aerodrome and then back to Townsville.
