I'm usually out of the country before I reach 500 ft. coming off the end of the runway at the local airport.

Thanks so much for this video Stef. Just amazing all round, really enjoyed it!

Thanks for making great videos! Keep them coming 🙂

Great video! Can’t wait for part two! Congrats!❤

Great video Stef! Thanks for making such great content.

Great vid Stef! Looking forward to watching the rest of the adventure. This is every aviators dream! Stay safe, James

Excellent content mate, look forward to the next episode!

Good one Stef. Doing the adventures we'd all like to do. Keep it coming!

Love all your tips and tricks from your content mate! Your videos in the cirrus especially is helpful as I am doing my MEIR currently but half the syllabus is cirrus SR20/22 time. You’re an absolute legend and inspiration for us down under here mate! Hopefully I get to see you in the skies up here in QLD soon! Love the chance to catch up🫡

I love these types of videos where you do a long flight and break it down in sections landing in small airports. Keep it up!!😍😍

Love the video, cant wait to see some more thanks and safe flying

Absolutely great video, Stef! As an Aussie who has done almost all of his flying in the US, I love to see the GA views of Australia. Funny that ATC picked up that you were doing a video😊

You had definitely inspired me Stefan getting my PPL and flying around Australia. Godspeed on your journey!!

Great videos Stef, really appreciate yr eforts

I love all your videos, Stef, but this one just hit different. The storytelling and editing are unmatched. These videos make me feel like I’m with you, along for the adventure. As a maker of underwhelming KZread videos myself I hope to be able to craft a story half as well as you do. Cheers and safe travels.

Another great video Stef! I love how you mentioned the advice from Jacq to break flight into small segments, great idea! Amazing production quality yet again! Keep doing what you do!!

Hi Stefan, this video is as inspirational as it can get, you are a great inspiration to me. Keep flying high Mate.

Loving the start of your big trip. Can't wait to watch more.

Great scenery and photography, wish I was there safe trip. All the best Richard 🇬🇧

It was so cool to see EYZ outside Australian airspace. You make the most amazing videos and thank you so much for sharing them with us! You really have inspired me to get my PPL after by PhD

Great video, safe flying on your continued journey.

I have been looking forward to this report.

Thank You so much for this fantastic video.

Nice to see EYZ back in the air. Keep up the great work

I follow all posts and often have great pleasure to watch them but this episode was particularly pleasant, even more for the French pilot I am, discovering your beautiful landscapes, your ADs, the phraseology, the simple and welcoming relationship between airmen in Australia. Just love it. Thanks a lot for the work you do and I guess the big amount of time it requires. We are grateful to you for this pleasure moment in our days :-)

Great trip. I recall driving to Leigh Creek once back a few decades and it was a hell of a trip. It's weird seeing it as simply the first stop on your massive journey. Hope to watch a lot more of these videos from you.

It is so good to see that you are doing everything by the book adding vigilance and accuracy. Love the digital instrumentation and relevant explanations, Please keep it up

I remember how excited I was when I set off on my road trip around America. Looks like you are living the dream. Can't wait to see where you go next.

Having recently done a road trip Syd to Alice (and back), out via Mildura, back via Broken Hill, seeing the landscape from above was just beautiful! Can't beat those outback colours!

Brilliant! Makes my 7 hour drive from Gold Coast to Newcastle last weekend seem a bit of a doddle !

A really enjoyable and instructive video. Thank you and be safe.

Over 10 and a half hours single pilot, well done mate. I generally get extra crew on long flights 😊 Wow, your videos are getting better and better. I watch everything, on both channels, but don’t always comment (sorry). I truly think you should have a million subscribers based on the quality of your videos. You tell a great story and your editing is great. I’ve been flying for 40 years and listen to everything you say and often learn something new. Keep it up mate. I wasn’t expecting an overseas trip so soon so I’m looking forward to the next episode. 🎉

Very cool Stef, I did a C206 ferry Perth to Cairns 30 years ago, no GPS, no autopilot. I still reflect on this as one of my greatest adventures. Airline flying now, still love flying and love my job. You have just inspired me to get back in a lightie.

I saw this on FlightRadar the other day. Was browsing FlightRadar and saw your flight from Broken Hill to home base. Followed a bit and listened on LiveATC. Great work Stef.

I have never seen such a well edited video on KZread in my life. Thank you!

Love the storytelling style! Great video dude

Great video man. Thank you

The sky’s have cleared for you & EYZ! Congratulations on finally getting your goals back in track. Looking forward to seeing your next flight Stef. I’m aware / I’m sure we all are aware of the trials & tribulations on getting EYZ to your standards & from lockdown / annual you & milkshake have began your journeys once again. Just wonderful!! It would be great to get a little heads up for us I’ll to track your journey on flight radar? I’m sure your audience would love to be part of the timescale. Again, great to see you & EYZ enjoying all of Australia once again. Keep well James

Thanks for the content Stef... definitely enjoyed it. I sniggered though when you said 4 1/2 hours was a long time in the cockpit... try 6+ hours in a single seat glider... that'll get your cockpit endurance up! I do agree though that the Murray is a significant crossing... but for me it's every time I cross back over it I feel a sense of accomplishment at having flown well into NSW and made it home, without touching the ground! Looking forward to more conent.

Awesome Ep Stef!

Excellent video- felt like I was there with you! Living the dream,brother!👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Awesome video Stef shame so much of the East Coast is now in flood conditions. One minute you are filming in fires and now floods. But for the first time in so long no part of Oz is in drought. Thanks for sharing these amazing adventures with us

Great vid mate, enjoyed watching 🇦🇺👍

so stocked to finally see you accomplishing your dream

Fantastic video Stefan, never flown MEL/DRW before so was interesting to see the Murray as well as the Creeks (Leigh and Tennant) - places us mere pax are unlikely to fly into. Waiting for Ep 2 now :D

Brilliant video Stef. EYZ gets up and boogies. I ferry a rebuilt 206 from Parafield to Darwin in the 90s. I flew Tennant to Darwin direct last leg. Agree was too long. But overnighted in Alice so total flight was 13.8 hours. Will be following you.

Thanks for taking us along Stef! That was super cool
