Envy


Well I thought i was OK on the controls but these guys kick it !!!
The Gold Coast City Council (GCCC) employes Professional Helicopter Service (PHS), the same company we started to learn with on the Gold Coast, to spray for mosquitos from choppers and watching these blokes throw the Bell's around like they are R22"s is awesome. A little "Apocalypse Now" but most certainly an amazing rush even from the ground.
The video doesn't quite capture the fact that this big chopper is only about 10 to 15 metres above the ground just out of IGE and the massive blades reverberate inside your chest... what a rush!

OK, so I cant make the bloody video work so here is a link to Callvm & I flying......

King Tide means less Real Estate


King Tides at Christmas meant we had no boat ramp as such! You could drive your boat right up onto the island basically. Here's Cameron 6 inches deep about a metre into our island. D loved it and was so confused as to what was happening. I tried to explain it to him but he didn't seem to get it... See our bonfire site, water logged.
