YSHT - Shepparton, Victoria from Impulse Simulations : MSFS - Shepparton Aerodrome (YSHT) | Impulse Simulations

It's not a freeware, but I just purchase YMHB Hobart from NZA, it's beautiful, but a performance killer on my PC, from 30 to 8-12fps

Thank you everyone...I'm pretty embarrassed that I know almost nothing about Australia.  I know there's an opera house in Sydney haha!  I know some king airs operate in the bush.  (Is that in the western region?)

King Air's operate all around Australia, most ambulance services use them. You can get the liveries from : Category: King Air (impulsesimulations.com)

This might give you an idea.https://www.flyingdoctor.org.au/map/  "The Bush" usually starts about 150 KMS inland from the coast, the further you go, the geography gradually changes and is called "Outback" or the centre of Australia which in area, is about the same size as most of Europe (excluding Russia)

One small fact YMML-YSSY is in the top 5 travelled air routes in the world, could even be top 3 pre-covid.
