LOG: Australia Part 2

[GIPS]

Hi All,

After a very busy time at work it was time for a nice 6 week holiday toward Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
Main target was relaxing and be the tourist with the wife. Of course I had to do some spotting.

Spotting from outside is very good possible, as I was told before. Just before our departure our base visits in Australia where cancelled. (So, not really cancelled but putted forward 3 weeks which was impossible to handle with in our case)
So we were challenged to do it all from outside.

Unfortunately it was not really what I expected in Australia. Because of the main summer holidays there was no flying or activities at all at Richmond ,Nowra and Wagga Wagga
The flying on other bases was very limited, so no big scores. Besides that it was to hottest summer in 60 years, so heath waves were killing me in the south.
In the north Cyclone Dylan was making me spotting very hard with rains and lots of winds….

So this is the best I could make from it.
