UPDATE!  Over the next few days, VH-85H was busy flying between Shute Harbour and Chinchilla and Bundaberg Airports up until Saturday 27 September when it ended up flying into Archerfield.

Following a similar pattern was FKG Air (Redjet Aviation) Hawker Beechcraft B200GT VH-FKB which flew up to the Whitsunday Airport at Shute Harbour from Toowoomba via Chinchilla Aerodrome.

UPDATE!  On Monday 22 September, VH-FKB departed Shute Harbour and returned to Chinchilla Aerodrome and then Toowoomba.

And Metro Holdings / Air Link Beech B200 King Air VH-XDW arrived into Rockhampton Airport from Cairns and Townsville and then departed to Brisbane.

Meanwhile, also on Friday 19 September, Mitchell Water Australia Cessna 525 Citation M2 bizjet VH-WMY flew up from Melbourne (Essendon) to the Whitsunday Airport Shute Harbour before then flying back down directly to Moorabbin.

And recently re-registered (registration marking) Vanguard Aviation (Machflight International) Cessna 525 CitationJet1 bizjet VH-A74 (ex VH-DAA) as "Machflight 74" looked to pop into Bundaberg Airport from the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.  It was re-registered in mid-May this year.
