Bigglesworth Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Does anyone know of a non-controlled airstrip near Melbourne? I have a friend in Northern Melbourne and I have to get down for her 21st and would like to fly. So I'm looking for somewhere close to north Melbourne that I can get to without getting into controlled airspace and that I can park my plane over the weekend. ASIC is OK. And if its clost to a bus or something to take me to the city, it would be even more awesome, Thanks Joshua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboplanner Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 The last time we went through this Bacchus Marsh came out on top, and the Chris's experience was great. You just come in to the Western Ring Road and head round to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaz3g Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Coldstream YCEM is a good place to go if you want to park for a few days. Phone Bob Boyd ph 03 9739 1406 fax 9739 0237 mob 0428 353 926 . Bus runs down Maroondah Hwy into Lilydale station. kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigglesworth Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Thanks, it seems there are lots of options. Now just hope the weather is fine and all should be well. If I come down the coast (over the timber around Mallacoota) then it looks like Coldstream. If I go over the mountains (which is unlikely since they still have snow on them) then Sunbury looks nice. This should be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilin_air Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Joshua, You will have to ring Sunbury before you land as the fee is extra for just landing without calling first, if you want to go a bit further and come to Bacchus Marsh we can assist you.

Bigglesworth Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Thats actually not a bad spot to be since someone is heading to the same party from the west, so I might get a lift. I'll work it out soon and contact you then, thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
