Enjoyable week

[Bill]

I was one of six Bathurst Soaring Club members in four aircraft (C182, Maule M4, Hornet Cub & Corby Starlet), who enjoyed an 808nm five day trip around NSW (& briefly VIC) last week.

Day 1    Bathurst – Temora (fuel, brunch).  Temora – Hay (fuel).  Hay – Mungo Lodge

Day 2   Guided tour around the (dry) lake & its World Heritage features.

Day 3   Mungo Lodge – Swan Hill  (fuel, lunch)  Visited the Catalina Museum, Lake Boga.

Day 4   Swan Hill – Tocumwal (fuel, lunch) Visited the Aviation Museum & the Gliding Club hangar (one of the original, huge WW2 hangars, which accommodated B24 Liberators)

Swan Hill – Temora (fuel)

Day 5   Temora – Bathurst.  Cancelled planned visit to the Temora Museum, due encroaching weather at Bathurst.

All together a most enjoyable trip. Both aviation Museums are well worth the visit and comprehensively detail the importance of these aerodromes / lake during WW2.

Mungo lodge and their tour to the lake and woolshed is really interesting.
They still got wandering emus on the strip?

We saw them out on the lake but not on the strip but I bet they are there. Also goats, sheep kangaroos and other varmits.
