stevek Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hi. I am looking for information on the grass strip at Rodds Bay near Benaraby, SW of Gladstone. Was wondering who owns/runs the strip and permissions required for landing. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Rodds bay is my home strip. Owner is Bob Keene 0403862094. A group of us call it home and do the maintenance, Usually there on Sundays. Strip is 13 - 31 length approx 800m width 30 plus m grass. Strip is uphill in 13 direction, making that the preferred landing direction with up to 5 knots of tail wind. Fully fenced to keep cattle off. There is a house which appears to be in the strip, but it is just surrounded by mown grass. No fuel available on site, servo is 12km away at Benaraby. It would be a courtesy to ring Bob for permission, but he is hard to get. I don't see a problem if you just arrive, but PM me and I would be able to help you if needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevek Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Thank Yenn. I have a friend at Boyne Island and was looking for somewhere close to land. He suggested Rodds Bay. Not sure when I would be likely to actually make the trip. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
