turboplanner Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Funny how you start to read something when you're busy and your mind plays tricks. After reading your first line, I quickly skimmed the second line and read "I was lucky enough to gain my IRT one month after the birth of Moses....."

kaz3g Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 When I had my pastoral station in the Upper Gascoyne in NW WA in the late 1970's, an AIM padre came visiting with his family in a C182. He was navigating with a 1956 Shell roadmap! Kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poteroo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 When I had my pastoral station in the Upper Gascoyne in NW WA in the late 1970's, an AIM padre came visiting with his family in a C182. He was navigating with a 1956 Shell roadmap!Kaz My guide to the WA wheatbelt has always been the Caltex Country Road directory, the 1st copy of which I obtained in 1978. GPS might give you a set of co-ordinates - but nothing beats some instructions along the lines of: 'go to Woop Woop, then follow Jones Rd east for 6 miles, take a turn south down Smith Rd, go another 5 miles until you see the farm buildings - then land in the 3rd paddock past that on the west side of the road' Provided the signs are readable - you can follow these directions rather easily. happy days, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3g Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yes... But Mt Newman didn't exist in 1956! Kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
