Low flying F100

Sat on my balcony in Mandurah this morning at 1030 local having a coffee when a Fokker 100 flew down the coast at approx 3000ft going south does anyone at Perth know what it was doing?

3000ft is relatively low for an F100 as it would normally cruise at 30000ft but not low for your average spamcan or military aircraft.
