Day 7 8th March 2015
Today the baton travelled further north. It was picked up in Caboolture then flown to Bundaberg by the Foxbat Ladies. The Bundaberg Aero Club had a lovely welcoming committee for the ladies and baton.
The girls then took it further north via the scenic route into Mackay. Another beautiful part of Australia.
Tomorrow is a lay over in Mackay. As the relay has had exceptional weather we had prepared for bad weather and a few rest days were anticipated in case the baton needed to catch up. Therefore tomorrow the baton will remain in Mackay, enjoying the local hospitality before it continues its journey on the 10th to Townsville. Its first commercial flight.
As a note, Danielle has flown the longest leg of the Relay so far. Her flight from Bundaberg to Mackay in a C182 was 2.3 hours! Well done Danielle......
