They were flying as "Warrior Black" and flew down from Townsville.
Later, it seemed that NZ3307 encountered a technical problem and remained parked at Rockhampton Airport.

The other NH90 NZ3306 departed Rockhampton Airport for South as "Warrior 06" but soon turned back and landed again at Rockhampton Airport.
Both NH90 helicopters have been in Australia for some time, arriving with a third NH90 NZ3303, all for Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025. NZ3306 and NZ3307 have been parked at Townsville and recently completed a massive over-water deployment flying from Cairns to Papua New Guinea to participate in the PNG's 50th Anniversary of Independence Celebrations.
The RNZAF No. 3 Squadron NH90 helicopters then returned to Cairns (pictured) and flew down to Townsville before heading down to Rockhampton Airport.
UPDATE! Over the next week or so, and after receiving maintenance attention, both NH90s eventually departed Rockhampton Airport for RAAF Base Amberley and then a flight back to New Zealand via Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. A massive deployment!
