About Heli-Muster NT
Heli-Muster began back in 1976 and started as a two machine operation used for aerial cattle mustering. Under the ownership of John Weymouth, the company flourished to become a major player in the Northern Australian mustering industry.
At its peak in the mid 1980's the company had up to 26 operational mustering helicopters across the top end at any one time, which consisted of Bell 47’s and Kawasaki KH4’s until the advent of the more modern Robinson R22, which was introduced in the late 1980’s.
From day one the main hangar and base for the company has been located at Victoria River Downs (VRD), in the northwest of the Northern Territory, known as the Victoria River district. Today, the company now trading as Heli-Muster NT Pty Ltd continues to operate out of VRD, with a fleet of R22 and R44 helicopters and also two fixed wing aircraft, as a private family owned company.
The helicopters are spread across the northern end of Australia with machines as far away as Broome and over to the Queensland border, and venturing south in to the Tanami Desert. The company also operates a scenic flight operation based near the Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge, at Maud Creek, utilising the Robinson R44, as well as a Cessna 172N. The complex at VRD also includes a Robinson factory approved maintenance facility with its own engineering staff, not only maintaining its own fleet but also servicing outside machines.
