I'm not quite sure I understand "Outer Island" (oh, and shouldn't it be "Islands" <?>).

I have Stewart Island, Chatham Island, Pitt island, Auckland Island, Adam's Island (!!!), Campbell Island, Macquarie Island, White Island etc. ... but are we including the Cook Islands,Samoa, Rarotonga etc.?

Adam.

To that list Adam , in some FS sites you can add Norfolk Is tho its Australian and add Lord Howe as well and after the amount off effort come from the NZ add Fiji to the list.

...and us mainlanders can add the North Island...

I was thinking that .... but I thought Its always me getting Me in trouble .... and I do a damn fine job but that truly so real .... Boy your in trouble with the boys upstairs ! .... they'rd be

That suggests a cool new name for the North Island -- 'the Attic'.

Hmm..didn't I see you mention to JK that Aotearoa was "Just across the road" from Oz? I would hate to see him fall in the ditch

, Nah ... here we go John Funnel Not the Auckland Island, but still even further - quiet a feat, tuned the helicopter into a flying fuel tank.
In April 1992, we flew a helicopter to Campbell Island to provide medical treatment and transfer of Mike Fraser - a New Zealand MetService employee - who had lost an arm in a shark attack back to Invercargill Hospital. A total flight distance there and back of 3600km.

Carenado 185 landing on the beach at Horseshoe Bay, Stewart Island. The beach at Horseshoe Bay was used often as an airstrip before Ryans Creek was built

Nice one Coochy , I do have historical photo's of the pre-Ryans creek field .. bugger looked a lot rougher than that

I have very clear recollections of the start of a New Years Eve party on that beach! The end of it, not so clear...
Great shot though
