    Hi Graeme welcome it is a great forum nice people and lots of knowledge to be had on here, the strip was fenced in half for years 1500ft which was plenty for what we where doing now it is open up to its full length once again 3000ft with club going ahead . It will be good to meet up with you there is about eight of us in this area that fly ultralights. Also Dave the Labertouche strip has been developed with poultry farm it is no longer there. cheers Geoff.

    Hi Dave was great to fly but didn't do many hrs in it had to transport it to longer airfields. The strip at Labertouche dont think is in use anymore years ago there was a death there we haven't been there years l will find out and let you know the best strip is Williams strip at Lardner it is 1000mts they are opening up a club and a school there it has been private strip we used to train out of it its all grass strip the only problem is if you get a strong easterly you get bad rotor near the hanger and the bush so test you out. cheers Geoff..
