Brew 42 Brewery (Old Lake Clifton Tavern & Motel)
Hi my name is Graeme Sellers the publican at Brew 42 Brewery (the old lake clifton tavern). On the 19/12/10 I had a contractor come in and grade up the air strip. We haven't got a wind sock yet but we are looking at getting it up asap. We have great food at the tavern and if you're thinking of staying the night accommodation is available. We brew our own beers and there are six to choose from. Any enquiries please call me on 08 9739 1010.

great little airport with good grass and dirt strips. Plenty of parking and bitumen at end of dirt to help avoid prop damage.

re: Avgas at Cassidy International
Just out of curiosity. Was Avgas available ? Is there a need to pre-arrange it.
wok experience
is it possible to have work experience at tyabb??
Runway info
Recently updated the runway info for Watts bridge as it was way off ( something like 3000m & 2000m ) My figures are estimates but close to the mark.
Be aware there is a road and a fence across the NW end of 12-30 and the last few hundred meters is not in use.
noise at Baxter
nothing to do with Tyabb it was hellicopter traffic going to bike races at Phillip Island
Runway upgrade
Will there be nil flights to Leinster from the 28Sep due to runway upgrades???
Relocation
According to the Wikipedia article, the airport may be relocated soon to allow the nearby mine to be expanded.
Nice place to visit
The airport itself is quite nice. When we arrived, they were out with a tractor mowing one of the strips. The airport is a bit of a hike from town which is probably the only down side. A quick coastal flight on arrival is always a good idea!

Low tide only
Comment from @Capitano.Nico - "Usable around low tide. Check tide tables."
re: Obstacles
Thanks -- I've marked the airport as closed.
Birdsville Races
Birdsville races rained out September 2010, the town became a quagmire, mud, propstrikes and the digging out of planes. A nightmare.

re: GTE
Reply to @Ozguy:
If someone were to convince the locals to allow me to bring my warmblood horses with me, with the understanding that there'd be riding lessons, with dressage, showjumping, eventing, and even barrel racing, would that make the island more fun? Are there edible grasses on this island? Are there a bunch of flightless birds and super rare plants that a few hooves might accidently trample?
Obstacles
There is a fence and trees across the strip :(
Incorrect Elevation
YMBT is actually 1100' AMSL. Refer ERSA, plus I've landed there.
Refueling stop 1957
I seem to remember a beached or sunken Japanese ship partially sticking out of the water just off runway 10 when I landed there. It seems like we just stayed long enough to get fuel and then fly on to Japan. I was young lad then so it is hard to remember. Has anyone else seen it?
re: Closed?
Reply to @david
Yes - Berwick closed in 1995-96. Is now a university campus, though some remnants of the runway can stillbe seen, along with a couple of hangars.:
re: Closed?
Reply to @david:
Yes Pakenham is now closed. A freeway runs along what was the east-west runway.

Closed?
Received a report that this airport is closed, and the satellite view seems to confirm that.
Closed?
I received an e-mail that this airport is closed and that there's a road through it. I can see no evidence of the road in the satellite shot, but the "Map" view does show a road crossing the runway. I've marked it as closed for now - can any locals confirm?
Status unknown
Does this strip really exist?

Reply to @rdsair: very sad news.
re: One runway only
Reply to @ptomblin: I'll assume for now that that is the correct location.
re: One runway only
If you click "Show Points of Interest", is that marker on what you mean?
One runway only
The location on the picture is due south of the aeroplane icon. You can see the east/west runway just north of the buildings and hedgeline. It is actually at the CFA training facility.

Ring ahead and confirm again on the day!

re: airlines serving chuuk

airlines serving chuuk
what airlines serve chuuk int'l airport?
On the way to Victoria from Marcus.
Returning to Victoria from Perth, Port Lincoln and so on in company with another C172, we refueled at Aldinga and due to a deteriorating weather forecast for the Melbourne Geelong area, we elected to spend the night.
The person (lady) who seemed to be the manageress in the school could not have been more unhelpful with regard finding us some accommodation for the night.
Whilst thinking about what to do we met a really nice couple who own a hanger at Aldinga and they went out of their way to help us. Booked us into a lovely reasonably priced motel and picked us up in the morning and took us back to the airfield.
What rating should we give Aldinga? Gorgeous scenery and lovely location but not impressed with the service or unhelpful attitude.
re: YADG
You must be thinking about some other airport, or are you dreaming?
Beware
Very friendly if they can get some money off you. Otherwise arrogant, do not do as we do, do as we say. Fly odd circuits and illegal right hand circuits.
Exercise extreme caution when approaching and in the circuit as no consideration toward others.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG
You will either get abused or dobbed in to CASA.
2 rules, one for them and one for others.
Such a shame as is beautiful setting that deserves better.
