A great place to fly into, but ramp space is very limited.

A much busier airport back in the 70's.

I flew in here in a Stearman one day, and was warmly welcomed by about half the population of the town. A nice friendly place.

Hope you have a mobile phone, because there is no other way to call a cab if you want to go into town.

Situated right on the Tropic of Capricorn. A cattle town.

A good airport and quite an interesting city.

Seeing the amount of rock and soil they moved in order to contstruct this airport is mind-boggling.

Be sure to visit the Army Aviation Museum. Some great airshows were held here years ago.

One of my all-time favourite airports, and cities. The birthplace of Bush Pilots Airways.

I can't wait until they open the new parallel runway. A pity it won't be pointing into the prevailing (south-easterly) wind.

Flying in here I am always amazed at the size of the holes in the ground. There must be some awfully big rabbits in these parts.

This airport has to hold some sort of record for the number of SID's and STAR's. I guess they want to make it look like a big place. ATC seem to think they are at Chicago or somewhere.

One thing in very short supply is ramp space, and the delays in getting to the runway (particularly early in the morning - everyone seems to want to depart at 0600) are unbelievable.

A very clean and pleasant city though.

A cosy city.

The wind! The only thing between here and the South Pole is a barbed wire fence, and it is mostly broken down. Great seafood though.

A lovely city, and very historic.

CED
 

It takes a while to get there, but is worth the trip.

Sun, 29 Jul 2007

The opal capital of the world. The town looks deceptively small and uninhabited from the air, however most homes (and some businesses) are underground.

A pity they closed the third runway.

Back in the 60's this was the busiest airport in the southern hemisphere (by aircraft movements - most were training flights). Much quieter these days.

The best city in Victoria in winter.

A handy alternate to Melbourne.

The runway gets extremely slippery when wet, due to years of buildup of rubber deposits.

A pleasant short flight from Honolulu.

Always enjoy flying in here. Can be a challenge when the weather turns bad.

A pretty place. Pretty frustrating too, as everything happens at snail's pace.

Needs some TLC.
