Is Wilton the same as Picton, the home of the Sydney Skydive
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.
re: Elevation
Reply to @ptomblin: I confirmed from the AIP that the elevation is really 520 ft.
Wow
Best airport name ever
:)
area subjected to grazing sheep/ cattle spring /summer ,
No wind sock , local cessna , caution Rabbit Holes /wombat holes appear with out warning or signage !
strips distances are 725 metre, & 400 metre
Elevation
Just got an email from a user of the CoPilot iPhone app saying that the elevation isn't 118 ft, it's closer to 500 ft. I wonder if that means it's really 118 metres? If you go to the terrain map you see an unlabeled contour line and then another labeled 200 m as you head uphill from the airport.
re: Brew 42 Brewery (Old Lake Clifton Tavern & Motel)
Hi we had my husbands birthday drinks and dinner there and it was awesome. Cold beer great food and even better service. There were around 14 of us and not one person had a single complaint. I highly recommend Brew 42 to everyone :)

re: re: TIF

Updated -- thanks.
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.

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!
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.
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.
Noise

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?

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!
