    When I was a little girl in the 1950s, we travelled to Australia as £10 poms and settled in Perth. Sometimes, we used to go out towards the airport and I remember it as just being surrounded by a wire fence and all you would get really were the flying doctors coming in and the cattle farmers, coming to town for supplies I guess. Such fond memories but back in the United Kingdom now, not by my own choice. I was only nine when we came back. X
    Australia is a beautiful country and my daughter did her gap year there travelling all around Australia by car beginning and ending in Perth.

    Beautiful landscape. Having lived in Perth for a few years I miss the outback colours and serenity.

    I love seeing more of this Aussie content, I fly Cessnas in QLD, and work in the mines as a fitter

    I enjoyed that - thanks. I used to fly Barons out of Perth in 1970/71 doing crew changes for exploratory drilling rigs located at many of the destinations you now service. Perth runway 03/21 was 02/20 back then and Hedland was a primary airport.

    I love this video as its my town and used to fly (Passanger) E190s and a320s out to the mines in the pilbara and gold fields. Its always been a dream of mine to do this especially in a dash 8.

    I'm too old to fly now, but I love to stick a camera in the cockpit and watch the young people enjoy what is a great pastime

    That was a nice video, nice to see the Australian landscape, and at the end of the flight, saw my old airplane sitting on the ramp, too bad the flight couldn't have been on QQE, I used to help maintain it back in Canada

    Quite a nice view of that mine in Windarling. Emerald water at the bottom of an inverted pyramid of red clay or so it would seem.🐬

      Standard procedure on the Dash for the FO to engage the gust lock below 60 knots

    I think every miner and exploration geologist should have to fly up to site via pontoon versions of DHC Beaver (SCARRY AS F*CK) Otter(not scarry) Twin Otter (Kind of luxurious ...we had a flight attendant serve us fun size box of smarties and a plastic cup of boxed wine classy)

    Hamersley iron was a big mining operation in the 1960s
    A friend of mine worked
    At tom.price as a mechanic
    Made quite a mint as no where
    To spend the wages
