Came across these aerial videos on YouTube today and they're worth a look

Great stuff Stibb and the 'Wandering Foxbat'.

Needs some help with the naming between Achilles and Gould though :)

Yes, I was lost for a while with the labels, too busy oogling the views though. Pretty good perspective as they come low over the Tyndall area, Hamilton Moraine is impressive at that elevation (11m20s).

Great aerial video, gives a different perspective, particularly enjoyed P West, Mt Gould and the Tyndalls

Yes. Very nice. Some of it almost looks walkable - tricky thing that low looking Tasmanian scrub though..
A little disappointing on the labelling.
Great views around the Frenchman

It has been reloaded with a new link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2cumgtJ ... w&index=58

Fantastic to watch in HD if you can handle the download speed required.

Yeah, thanks Ian. I had checked back and linked it, must have been in the private forum. It's a ripper, birds eye view!! Watched some of the others since then. Iv'e flown over and around the park in a chopper a few times but this is far more relaxing : )

Awesome find Stibb, had a lot of fun watching, great to get an idea about some of the geography etc, a bit easier than just looking at a map!

Great shots.
Where can you organise a flight like this?
Or are these privately owned planes?
