rdarby Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I went there today as a nav trip. It's great. You can do 500' along the beach most of the way there. The airfield is in good condition, really soft grass, no sand. I was worried I would get bogged but the sand is around it but the field itself is like a lawn. As you approach you see "things" on the threshold, they are lights, not kangaroos. It has two windsocks and a heli pad. This is a proper airfield, not just a cleared strip. The shop there is nice, good coffee and toilets. At 670m I was worried it would be short, I am used to 800m+. But it wasn't, it felt great to come in to. Well worth it. When you turn the engine off you hear the waves from the beach. I'll go back when I finally finish my nav training. Ryan
Guest Walter Buschor Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 great thread, I said it before, use it or loose it. It is a fantastic strip and a great day destination. I don't understand why so many are so unsure about it. Just go there and enjoy!! You don't need prior permission and the strip is good for any single - no matter what. As a bonus - the beach is terrific too. go there and fly safe Walter
