Overseas viewers note: Noel never left Queensland. He is still in one small corner of Australia; he still has the Northern Territory and the huge expanse of Western Australia between him and the West Coast. Also on regional flights people in hi viz clothing onboard means they are mining personnel travelling around. On some flights everyone will be wearing it.

love the way the airport lady delicately opened the glass doors.

I just moved to America from Sydney 3 weeks ago and hearing Aussie accents had me in near tears. Thank you for this video!

For context to Americans, Queensland is 3 times the size of Texas. It's a little bit bigger than Alaska. That's why this is such an epic journey. And that's just one Australian state...

Mate you didn’t even cross a third of Australia or go interstate. Maybe check before you state that. most of these towns are also quite large

REX have a pretty good reputation here in Oz, better than Qantas Link.

Don't ever have to feel bad for eating the kangaroos. Like cattle. Some raised for milk. Some raised for meat. Some raised for other things. I had a kangaroo burger in Sydney, AU and it was FANTASTIC. My friends still give me grief because I was at a kangaroo and koala sanctuary a few days prior.

As a private pilot for many years until health issues stopped me, I loved flying over the Aussie outback, some of my most memorable flying experiences, I do really miss it.

Quite an achievement, finding a way to fly from Brisbane to Cairns that takes nearly as long as driving from Brisbane to Cairns (19 hours)….

this wasn't a bonza aussie adventure, it was a rex aussie adventure. bonza is a different airline entirely

Those Rex planes (and QANTAS link for that matter) are extremely important to our rural towns here in aus. Thank you for taking the time to fly with them

The FA Margot is a legend! Imagine how many hours she's spent operating this service!

The way that lady opened the doors @

Lord, this is a real aviation adventure... No dwelling in first class and lounges, this is aviation pure. OZ has been on my bucketlist for a very loong time... I really hope to see Sydney in near future.

I love a sunburnt country,

I spent 14 BRUTAL hours this weekend binge-watching your channel. Love it! 🍻

The "Bugger all" response had me in stitches. That bout sums up Australia as a whole lmao

Wow, finally someone showing Australian communities in outback Queensland, I'm from Brisbane but have family in cairns and mt isa and they wouldn't function without aviation, it's just unfortunate in Australia aviation can be very expensive but definitely needed, I hope we get some more airlines in Australia to make it a bit more affordable as so many areas in Australia are worthwhile visiting, great video Noel.

A little quirk of the Saab 340 is that the steering bypass pin travels with the aircraft. After pushback is complete, the ground handler rolls up the pin, its flag, and the headset connection and passes it to the pilot through a little hole below their window. You can see the hole is open at 8.33.

Well, usually I only post my typical "Very Nice. Thank you.", but this is an unusually nice adventure. Thank you.
