Yesterday I took a charter flight on a small Cessna 172RG down to Adani Mining's Labona camp to check out new heavy equipment arriving on site that will soon begin construction on a rail line to link the mine to their Abbot Point coal terminal. Scored a lovely camp lunch, met up with an old friend and got a nice run in The Australian today. All in all, a pretty good day out in the heat!
