5 Star William Creek - don't miss it
Fabulous place, fabulous people. Hats off to Trevor, Mim and Edwina for a truly memorable stay at the William Creek Hotel. Couldn't have asked for more.
Glider winch launch
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!
Away from it all!!!
Just flew in: Great retreat with access to the beach and safe swimming!
Notes
Short (440m), marginal airstrip.
re: wrong coordinate
Made the change.
wrong coordinate
The listed coordinate is in the middle of the ocean!
Maybe try this one: 35.7550 S 137.9583 E

re: Airport or helipad ?
Reply to @Zoran: Absolutely right -- I checked the Australia AIP online to confirm, then edited the listing.
Airport or helipad ?
It doesn't look like an airport. Perhaps it's mean Westmead Hospital helipad (33.8052 S, 150.9892 E) ?
re: Wrong Place
I've moved the airport marker to what looks like an airstrip near those coordinates.
Wrong Place
Airport shown in wrong location
Try about -43 15' 147 23'
re: Location on Google is wrong
Thanks -- I've moved the airport marker.
Location on Google is wrong
The Google marker is showing the wrong locaton. The airstrip is actually about 7km west of where it is marked. If you look at the township of Cabramurra, the airstrip is about 2km NE of the township - you can see it pretty obvious on the satellite photo. Half of the airstrip is a bitumen surface, the rest is hard packed gravel, and there is a now a cloud seeding testign staton adjacent to the airstrip (as well as a weather station which has been there since around 1960).
My first touch and go
Never realised how fast this operation takes... a few seconds. No time for chit-chat or welcome drinks.... off and away again.
My first controlled airspace.
I was so nervous nearly missed the approach. Lovely place to have a snack.
PPL passed here
A lovely country side aerodrome. A small club with several aircrafts, and many friendly people. Thanks RNAC
Radio Frequencies
The radio frequencies are wrong

re: YADG
Reply to @PILOT99: This must be THE best airport to fly into in SA. Beautiful club house with delightful staff and superb food. We are always greeted like old friends
YHOX IS CLOSED
Closed and sold for industrial land 2008. So ends the history of a useful WW2 vintage airport. Sad to think that the Commonwealth Government sold all three Sydney GA airports to the same greedy organisation.
great place
did my tif at barwon heads it was great ,nice people, looking forward to my next lesson ,great place ,couldn't think of a place with better views to learn to fly.
Kyneton Aerodrome
Kyneton Aerodrome is a regional airport which is home to the Kyneton Aero Club and a base for many privately owned aircraft
re: Best aeroclub around.
Bloody narrow strip though, makes it a bit harder to judge your approach than average. Otherwise, good facilities and nice people.
Geelong
A small airfield adjecent to avalon airfield
Best aeroclub around.
This is my home aerodrome and its brilliant. If you ever get a chance to visit, do! Please note all circuits are to the east due to the 'fly neighborly' policy.
re: DH104 at YWAN
hi, just checking out the net and saw your request about the Dove at Wallan airfeild, the bad news is the engines were removed and sold on and the rest was sold to a collector, who collects old things, pity it ended up that way, it was a nice old girl, bit of a bitch to land in a good crosswind due to the riley conversion on the rudder slightly smaller than the normal rudder, there is one at the Morrabbin musem at morrabbin airport victoria, they might like to sell there`s as its only a static display rego VH-ABM,
regards
Steve

A dup?
There is another Lakes Entrance Airport (YLKE) 2nm away.
Hmmm
I don't see an airport here.
Good beach
Good beach nearby but track was hard to find!
Strip condition
The strip has recently been upgraded, including markers. It is very smooth.
Fuel
There seems to be differing rates for AVGAS. Might pay to ring ahead to negotiate.
Closed
This Airport is now closed.. Permenently..
For redevelopment.
