Really sick of the whirring sound of the planes flying over head, low flying aircraft, the early wake up on saturdays and sundays. too many bloody planes over Myocum. Stay home guys or fly over the ocean.

In January 2012 I experienced the fact refueling service became expensive. We called them for fuel prices which we got. When we arrived they claimed 50AUD opening fee without having told us. No chance to talk to the service man. Better find another airfield for refueling.

Fixed!
keepitsoaring dot com
Lake Keepit Soaring Club is run by club members so the costs are kept to a minimum. Visitors most welcome!
7 day a week, all year round (fantastic) gliding operations.
Excellent on-site and local accomodation
The terrain around the club is varied and interesting and there are literally dozens of airstrips and other outlanding opportunities around.
There's a good fleet of modern, well maintained aircraft or you're welcome to bring your own glider.
The Marker on 'ourairports' map is incorrectly shown on a dam wall, Lake Keepit airfield is 1km to North East at S 30.891000º, E 150.526000º

Reply to @david:
I completed my CPL and ME-IFR out of Bankstown. I then logged over 1000 hours teaching VFR students. The essence is to look outside the cockpit when approaching any airport and particularly an inbound reporting point such as 2RN (radio mast) or Prospect Reservoir at a busy GA training centre. With so much available as pilot aids, GPS and Traffic Warnings, it is too easy to be distracted by what's displayed INSIDE the cockpit while the actual danger is OUTSIDE. Under VFR, the PIC is responsible for separation. 2RN is difficult to see in some conditions but the instructors (one is each plane) know the cues for finding it and need to explain that to the students, all while looking outside the cockpit!

Reply to @tracktop: thanks for the clarification (and for all the comments on AU airports).
Reply to @david: Dochra is the mil strip - thought that was what I tagged.
Avoid
sorry David
Reply to @tracktop: is it on the site of a former airport?
Reply to @tracktop: is it a military glider strip (e.g. used for training air cadets)?
Reply to @tracktop: Thank you for the update. I've marked the airport as closed (and merged the nearby duplicate entry with it).
has concreted barriers to prevent landing

Beware wombats on Runway
Mon, 28 Nov 2011
Learning to fly was once out of reach - but now recreational aviation is cost effective! A stepping stone to larger aircraft... or a chance to kickstart an aviation career! Learn to fly around the beautiful Macleay, in uncluttered airspace. For more information visit midcoastflying.com.au.

Beware of the powerlines on approach.
A former WWII RAAF airfield, with plans to develop it as a residential airpark.

Be sure to conduct a Prec Search & Landing in order to clear the strip.

The marker has been moved to the proposed location for this airport. The 2004 Operational Feasibility Assessment Report can be accessed here: http://members.pcug.org.au/~mikec/srcg/docs/airfield.pdf
This airport marker is centred on Mount Gibralter at Williamsdale which is the first line-up marker for Canberra airport approach.

I don't know if the airport is legal for commercial operations like charter, flight training, or crop-dusting, but it doesn't have any scheduled airline service.
where the bloody hell are you ???
Great runway which is bitumen out in the middle of nowhere. Very obliging refueller who also owns the pub. Interesting dunny too.

Not really an airport
Sat, 26 Feb 2011
I am a student pilot as well - learning helicopters. Now I suppose we could have an airport in the middle of nowhere, but how do you get there?? Bankstown isn't close (I live near the City), but certainly closer than Camden. I mean, this is Australia and we fly here. So... where else to go???

Gravel/crush-rock runway. Fairly narrow runway and muddy on sides after rain. Has toilet and clubhouse. Walk to town in less than half hour. Has quite high ground/hill at north of runway. Runway 18-36 about 900m elevation 460ft. Avgas may be available. Phone before use. (03)55952027 or (03)5595 1429 or (03)5595 1089. Claims to have PAL on 122.2 and CTAF 126.7

Confusing aircraft placement. I've got to assume that YWIO is the same as Picton for which I can not find an airport code. The map is so close.

Glider strip only, no aerotow, winch launch only: The old V8 powered contraption will slingshot you up to 1000ft AGL in 40 sec, completely exhilarating!

And the first thing they did is bulldoze the runway :/

Reply to @Zoran: Absolutely right -- I checked the Australia AIP online to confirm, then edited the listing.

It doesn't look like an airport. Perhaps it's mean Westmead Hospital helipad (33.8052 S, 150.9892 E) ?

Really sick of the whirring sound of people whinging after they buy houses near airports (with the market prices reflecting that fact) only to start bleating about aircraft noise. Be more observant next time or go jump in the ocean.
