Townsville's new water pipe from the Burdekin river is well underway, looks a bit different to the water filled trench a couple of months ago

Burdekin river crocodiles, a couple of reasonably sized snapping handbags in the middle of the Burdekin river between the Blue valley weir and the Blue valley gorge weir, shame there is no zoom on the go pro
Blue valley gorge weir, Burdekin river

Burdekin river below the dam , a place called Blue valley gorge weir , didn't know it existed until this morning , gateway to some limited options flying , would be pretty spectacular at the height of the wet season I reckon

So close to getting to the Burdekin dam this morning , can see the dam wall in the distance just prior the U turn , took about 10 minutes longer than planned to get to this point so was really getting a bit tight for fuel for the return journey, this was about 1hr 48 min into the trip

Nice vid! What gyro are you flying?
homebuilt single seater , subaru ej22 powered
@@ghecko-pz8rj love it! Great vids!
Not a lot of places to a landing even in a Gyro , forced landing that is
not wrong mate ,pretty high pucker factor from there on to the dam and back
can we see the gyro?
theres a walkaround on earlier videos mate
here is the link for the walk around mate ,ua-cam.com/video/EcrsEbLTK_E/v-deo.html
Looks like fun. Where's Townsville?
nth Queensland Australia matse
Nice 👍
How far out of Townsville please ?
40 Ks south of Townsville mate
Nice!
Looking pretty dry up there Rob Might be greener when I fly the Jabiru up in about 3-4 weeks time
some parts around Townsville had around 100mm in the last week so should start to green up soon mate
How much would it be to have the fuel truck brought out?
Wow its look and sound so real /nitro engine ?😂😂😂😂
Not a gyrocopter!
WTF, someone's smoking wacky tabacky.
All that green, wow.
Like worked.
Bet that's fun.
Living the dream. I see where you are now that I read it below.
Dragstrip, looks really long. I thought it was an airport being built ha-ha.
Second of three videos you put out, do you fly the Gyro very far or more used for fun?
purely for fun mate
Clicked the "Like" but it stayed at "0".
Nice, where are you located again, maybe I just forgot. Thanks for the sharing.
Townsville Queensland mate , fly out of Donnington Airpark ,Woodstock
Russian YAK
gyrocopter my ass, thats 100% a paramotor
Looks like a plane to me
This is clearly a robotic pterodactyl, not a gyrocopter
There's a gyrocopter in Townsville ... but this isn't Townsville, so enjoy the view of this YAK 18A.
closest city to this airfield mate , plenty of gyro stuff on this channel
Not a gyrocopter
Funniest looking gyro I've ever seen.
Hahaha
Ha Ha Fooled You!
Gyrocopter???
Gyrocopter ?
there are a heap of gyrocopter vids on the channel
Do a barrel roll!
bet it didnt do it any good taxing on it Rob lol
Nice day for a ride. Always my pleasure. Thanks, and be safe.
Donnington looking good and green. What sort of endurance do you plan with the new aux tank fitted?
at the moment with the new aux tank I will have 4hrs , have a second aux tank nearly finished as well so should have a bit over 4 1/2 hrs total on top of the required 30 min reserve
@@ghecko-pz8rj Many thanks for the reply. That's great endurance.
Cant let you have all the fun R so Ive decided to get mine flying and bring it up there and you can show me around , i did enjoy our chat cheers
thanks for stopping in mate , keep us updated on your progress , if there is anything I can help you out with let us know
Nice and green Old Mate , machine looks like its going well , new race track is coming on well , Im coming up there in a couple of weeks wouldnt mind having a chat.
no worries at all mate
Thanks for the ride, always a pleasure when you take the time to do a video. Be well.
beautiful
Great work. Nice to see very little stick shake.
thanks mate
How do I block this channel...
You are aware... that is not... ah forget it
Where's the gyrocopter? Looks like a plane to me...
Awsome Rob
This is NOT a Gyrocopter! It is a PA-25-161 Crop Duster!
fair dinkum?
@ghecko-pz8rj Yeah mate!
Exactly!
Thanks for the view.
Awesome, thanks!
great video
Are you just out for a Jolly or do you have a particular task you perform ? you seem to cover the same route on several flights . like your setup in the nose cone Im going to go without for a while as i feel my nose cone is a bit to bulky.
purely flying for enjoyment mate , doesn't really matter to me where I go as long as I'm flying as there is always something different to see. have never flown a machine without a pod but have found the set up on my machine gives very good protection from the wind.
I havent flown without a pod ether, so I will have to "suck it and see" cant remember what engine you have , but seems to perform fairly well, mines a 1.8 ltr overhead cam subaru , hoping thats enough to lift my 105 KG , thanks for replying by the way.
I have a subaru fuel injected ej22 in mine , bog standard other than a Link ecu. where do you fly out of mate?
Thanks for the view. Might try some voice over to tell us more, just a thought. Be well.
would like to mate , not sure how to with the new gopro 8 as there is no Audio socket like my old gopro3
@@ghecko-pz8rj Sorry I wouldn't know, just an idea that crossed my mind while looking about. Thanks for the ride. Stay at it.
