DrZoos Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 If there is a nearby airport that has regular shuttles / buses etc that doesnt have to deal with as much snow and ice that would also be great to hear...eg Wangaratta or closer ta.

turboplanner Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hotham has its own airport; do some googling and you'll be able to get the details on where the RPT flights start from, and when it is open. It's designed to fly people straight in during the snow season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeptic36 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Porepunkah is 6.5 Klms from Bright, and there are daily shuttles up the mountain from there. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3g Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Or Wangaratta if you want the benefit of cross-strips, fuel and nearby civilisation. Kaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flying dog Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I've flown into Hotham twice. Just ring and inform them. They don't mind. It is a short bus trip to the "fields" if you want to go skiing. Nice people. They helped me with fuel there too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
