Yeah, they had airplanes. No jets yet, . that was a technology that came from the War, but there were some airplanes around as early as WWI!

Maybe its a blimp or balloon?

Yes t,here were planes in 1940 how do you think Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese in 1941. The Wright Brother flew the first plane in 1903!

A 160-acre (65 ha) property near Beerwah Mountain was purchased by Robert Fullerton in 1913. In a government ballot opening more land for selection Fullerton acquired Portion 14V 4 kilometers from Glass House Mountains on the eastern side of the Old Gympie Road. The family arrived at Glass House Mountains on 3 June 1914. The older boys and their father followed a few hours later on goods train with their stock which comprised of an old horse ‘Dick’, two cows and a calf, a cat, and her kittens. Delighted at the beauty of the region Mrs. Fullerton named their selection ‘Dunnottar’ as the mountain reminded her of the country they had left behind. Hardworking Robert Fullerton cleared 2 acres of standing timber but when ready to plough poor old Dick the horse died. He set to work and dug the soil by hand with shovels and spades. Shortly after this, he planted his first pineapple crop. This crop was to sweep a new era of prosperity into the district. The industrious Fullerton family planted citrus and small crops including strawberries and Rosellas. Since those early days, the Fullerton families have produced and established large-scale pineapple and citrus farms throughout the Glass House Mountains district. They have helped shape policies on quota deliveries of pineapples and are a powerful force in the overall enterprise including connectivity to the Golden Circle cannery.
