Early morning in the thriving metropolis of Clermont.
Our sadly depleted band of aircraft. From 4 fixed wings and three helicopters to one helicopter and three fixed wings.
(The blue and white warrior in the middle is a local ring-in.)
As we trecked north the coastal showers came west to greet us. Between Charters Towers and Marreba the rain forced several diversions further west. Eventually the rain cleared to allow a south-western approach to Mareeba.
Stoney Creek was cut off by passing showers necessitating an hour-long wait in Mareeba before we managed to get through and get home.
