Over the last few days (and weeks!) and also on Saturday 20 May, several aerial survey aircraft were again noted operating around various parts of Central Queensland. Here is what we saw and heard!
Southern Airlines Cessna 402B VH-KCL has been operating out of Roma Airport since late April.
UPDATE! In late June, VH-KCL departed Roma Airport for Narrandera and Melbourne (Moorabbin).
The Redcliffe Aero Club Vulcanair (Partenavia) P.68C VH-VMV flew back into the region, arriving at Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) Airport from Warwick.

Dino Air (Interair) Piper PA-31 Navajo VH-XGL also has spent a lot of time in the region and now seems to be operating out of the Whitsunday Airport at Shute Harbour.
And operating out of Emerald Airport, no doubt completing aerial surveys of the local coal fields have been Aero Logistics / Bayswater Road Aerial Surveys Cessna 441 VH-LEM, Flight Testing Services Australia (Brisbane) PA-31/A1 Navajo VH-WHE and Link Airways Cessna 441 Conquest VH-VEH "Survey 23".
