Virgin Blue Boeing 737 getting ready for the off at Brisbane airport.

Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island is a remote 6km of fine white sand and look how he got there! After flying another 30 minutes further off-shore to the Great Barrier Reef Pierre has a look at some branch coral and fish from a glass bottomed boat.

Parked in the middle of nowhere? Our transport is the Beaver on the left.

Back on the mainland after a superb day with five flights in the Air Whitsunday Beaver.

Salt water has to be washed off the Beaver - Chad and Anthony still hard at work after they finish flying for the day.
