It looked to fly down from Hamilton Island Airport to Mackay Airport before continuing down to Emerald Airport and then towards Monto Aerodrome and the Sunshine Coast.

VH-VNG looked to fly North to Hamo from the South-East corner via Gayndah, Gladstone, Emu Park and Mackay Airports on Tuesday 27 December.

Meanwhile, also on Saturday 31 December, Poolhurst Aviation Air Charter Services Pilatus PC-12/47E VH-UJM visited Hamilton Island Airport from Archerfield.

Clermont-based (but Mackay-registered) Mooney M20J VH-NWF departed Clermont Aerodrome for Caboolture.

UPDATE!  VH-NWF returned to Clermont Aerodrome from Caboolture on Monday 2 January.

And McDermott Aviation Group / Machjet International Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 bizjet VH-SUY also visited Hamilton Island Airport but from the Sunshine Coast.

Finally, also on Saturday 31 December, DeGunst Transport P/L Textron (Cessna) 208 Caravan VH-NPZ looked to again fly between Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) and Bundaberg Airports to Lady Elliot Island and back - seemingly again operating for Seair(?).

Of interest, VH-NPZ has been operating to Lady Elliot Island each day since Wednesday 28 December.
