So, on Friday 24 March, VH-VSV was noted departing Denison Downs and heading West to complete airwork and then landing at Barcaldine Airport.  It later returned to the property.

UPDATE!  On Saturday 25 March, VH-VSV was back in the air, this time heading further West to Longreach Airport where it again completed airwork and landed for a short time.  It then returned to the Denison Downs property.

Meanwhile, also on Friday 24 March, South Australia-based Mooney M20P VH-FAF finally departed Longreach Airport for Roma Airport and Toowoomba.  It had arrived last Thursday 16 March when the Mooney Pilots Association of Australia annual fly-in happened at Longreach Airport.

While new Bell Textron 407GXi helicopter VH-JUF flew up from Bankstown to Townsville via Gunnedah, Narrabri(?), Roma and Clermont Airports, presumably on delivery to Cairns-based Nautilus Aviation.

UPDATE!  On Saturday 25 March, VH-JUF indeed continued from Townsville to Cairns.

McDermott Aviation Group / Machjet International Beech B200 King Air VH-ZPY flew up from Sunshine Coast to the Labona Station Airstrip within Adani Australia's (Bravus Mining & Resources) Carmichael Coal Mine site before then flying across to Rockhampton Airport and then back to the Sunny Coast.  It had flown the reverse inbound flight at the start of the week.
