23/03/2007: "FLIGHT NORTH ....... satellite map"

From Brisbane the aircraft passed over western tip of Irian Jaya - some big lakes down there in very wild looking country. Monsoonal cloud cover below most of the way at 29,000 feet. Aircraft flew higher at 42,000 feet. A 9-hour flight. It's the tail end of autumn in the north. People still getting about in winter clothes even although temp is in high 20's.
