Breakfast and some early morning shopping (groceries) in the Isa and then taxi to the airport. Jenny flew the 1.5hrs flight to Adels Grove and landed despite the circling kite hawks and the large wedge tail devaouring a dead roo beside the runway (I wonder who hit the Roo)?). Stuck to the runway and and parking area as the black soil off the runway has lots of cracks and holes that a wheel can drop down, a parked cessna with no engine probably testament to a prop strike.
Adels Grove staff collected us although the camping area is only 300m from the airstrip. Camped in "The Grove" , a shady oasis next to lily covered river.
Shortly after we arrived, a group of eleven other aircraft from Cessnock arrived, mostly ultralight Jabarus, a couple of Zeniths and two cessna 182s. We first started hearing this group on the VHF radio back at Bourke and they also went on to Karumba the day before us.
