Fran West Flyabout to Bullo River Station, Outback Australia

This was a memorable place to land for many reasons, one of them being the opportunity to meet author Sara Henderson.

During my coastal flight around Australia, Bullo River Station was one of the places I decided to refuel the aircraft.


After heading inland from the coast over the Victoria River, and then to the homestead, a surprise was waiting for me. There were horses spread right across the middle of the strip.

They didn't move after a low pass in the plane over the strip, so I had to land short and then taxi between horses to reach the fuel pump.

Just another joy of flying in the Outback.
