Hello Fellow Aviators.

 

As some of you know I'm in the process of moving interstate from Renmark (SA) to the family farm at Tarcutta (NSW), I'm on the final leg of the house clean and packed up of my Home Based Business here in Renmark, but what I wanted to share with you all, on the way back from Tarcutta last Thursday, coming across the Hay Plains (God their long and boring!) I noticed a hand written sign on the side of the road about 60klms East of Hay..........it was 12noon and I said to the Hansome Harry (dog) "We need a drink a walk and a wee.........the Carrathool Pub is about 7 or so klms up the turn off.

 

"WOW"......what a find......brand new pub, family, female, dog, grey nomad and "Pilot" friendly.......congrats to Trish and her family and staff for providing an"Oasis" out in the middleof "No Where"

 

I made an inquiry as to whether they have an air strip going in for pilots doing a long nav.......its a work in progress I was told by one of the patrons at the bar, who's a local. At this stage the air strip will be right near the pub (short walk) and they will have food and accommodation.

 

The contact no is (02) 69935117.......they will have a web site up and running soon with all the details.

 

I told Trish that I would gladly give her pub a write up on this site, for she would love to see lots of pilots and friends dropped in and enjoy the Pub's hospitality.........

 

Ian, I hope you don't mind me highlighting this Flyin spot, please contact Trish when you get a chance so that they can advertise their great "Watering Hole" for all Pilots on this site.

 

Cheers .......................Alley +" Harry"

 

PS...........Also stopped this side of "Tubbo" ststion to watch an Air Tractor do his/her ariel spraying.....God their good and soooooo skilled pilots.

 

 

Kaz, your an AWPA member arn't you?.......when I get back to the farm at Tarcutta I'll look up Carolyn's article and if you don't have a copy I'll send it onto you........................Keep dreaming GF...............Fly safe................Alley

 

 

Gee Tomo.......we all know that you need a few" footy seasons" to fill out your slender frame.......But I didn't realise that you had such skinny "Short" arms and very "Deep" Pockets I put about 4 x jeery cans worth of fuel in each wing for a top up after a "Joy" flight as a

 

On a serious note though, from what I've just been reading on about Fuel Starvation, I always thought if a pilot was generous enough to take me for a flight, the least I could do was to top up the tanks, I hate to think on their flight home that they ran out fuel because of me.....Plus it's Tax Deductable

 

Now were's that Avgas bill Alley

 

 

kaz....You will......hold onto that dream....... robb that bank ........get enough $$$$$ for both of us and we'll both go

 

I'll look up Airnews in an earlier edition for info on Carolyn's Spitty.............."Very" $$$$$$$$ but oh well, it's only money and you can't take it with you, sped it on your passion ...................Fly safe..............Alley
