Update for relay flight tomorrow 11th March - Mackay to Townsville QLD

Well the Baton will certainly be getting about in sunny Queensland this week!
A big thanks to the generosity of all pilots involved and Qantas for supporting the relay, we have the Baton being flown around QLD this week by various Qantas teams as well as AWPA member and RA-AUS pilot Mary-anne who is based in Townsville at ATA Flight School.

Qantas pilot Kristie Casey will fly the baton from Mackay to Townsville on her leg of the relay.  Mary-anne O'Donnell will then collect the Baton from Kristie in the afternoon and fly it to Woodstock and around her local area for a scenic flight, then deliver it back to Townsville airport to Qantas pilot Bek Klukowski who will then look after the Baton overnight and take it with her early the next morning to Cairns
