  2. This is a proud ad for WA.

    Gday Marty. I have traveled most of Australia, no disrespect but Adelaide/ Darwin via Alice is best done on a train where you are sleeping for at least 50% of the time.

    Taking that route you are going to miss the best part of Australia & also the largest by far " WA". The Southwest is absolutely unique in flora, with the largest trees in the southern hemisphere. After the Nullabor, Esperance is a great stopover & there are fantastic new facilities at the Cape Le Grand site which is run by volunteers for the Dept Conservation. The Hopetoun National Park is a great area to visit on your way to Bremer Bay. Continue to Albany & dont miss Mt Clarence & the views from the memorial. Denmark is worth a stop over on the way to Walpole & the valley of the giants. Denmark has an active aviation club & a unique airfield on the top of a hill.

    The drive through Karri forest to Manjimup is a high light to any holiday. Manjimup also has an active aero club where you may get a flight if your lucky. Not to be missed is the fire lookout on the top of a giant Karri tree South of Manjimup. Free to climb if your fit & game.

    Drive from Manjimup to Bussleton vis Donny brook & see the fruit orchards. Bussleton has the incredible mile long jetty with a rail line & under water sea aquarium. If your not into walking take the tourist train. A little South is Yalingup with probably the best surf in Australia. The Caves are also a must see, with guided tours every hour. There are a number of amazing limestone caves in the area between Yalingup & Augusta.

    Drive to Perth is an easy 2 hours from there.

    Perth! the Swan river, got to be the best location of any City in the world. Lousy architecture with virtually no history. Kings Park makes up for that with stunning views across the Swan River. The beaches in WA are the cleanest & best & they stretch for over 10,000 Km . Heading North Lancelin is a must for the fishing & FWD tracks over the dunes & if your game through to Jurian Bay on dirt roads & beaches. Sample the Rock Lobsters at Lancelin, in good supply due to loss of sales to China.

    Geralton is a good stop over, after there is a long drive North, but Shark bay is a must see. If you have the time the western most point of mainland Australia is Steep point. Managed by CALM & has amazing fishing. It is possible to catch Spanish Mackeral from the rocks off Steep Poit. Note FWD only. The view to Dirk Hartog across the North West passage from there is amazing. ( UNESCO's official listing of Shark Bay as a World Heritage Site see Wikipedia)

    Next stop Carnarvon a lovely coastal town, famed for bananas & fishing.

    Ex mouth is worth a visit, you can get to swim with the whale sharks at Ningaloo if your there at the right time of year.

    Then through the mining towns, Dampier if you want to go game fishing. See the salt mines (lakes) the mountain of salt at Karatha. A short drive to Roeburme which was the main town in the North west in early days, better travel through & visit Cossack which has interesting old buildings & excellent fishing.

    Broome is a good stop over on the long journey North to Darwin. Treat your Mrs to a pearl neck & visit the pearl farms & try the oysters.

    Head North & stop at Halls Creek & say hello to the guy who looks after the airport, Take a flight over the Bungle Bungles. Next must see is Lake Argyle great camping & a good place to rest for a few days, before the drive to Darwin.

     

    Give me a call if you get to Perth,I will be able to take you for a flight & show you that SABC has the best grass runway in Australia. See <https://www.sabc.org.au>

    Good luck in your travels.

    John

    Not to forget the wheatbelt, Avon valley and White Gum Farm, White Gum Air Park, and the Boeing 737 project...

  3. Hello All,I'm a UK hang glider / microlight pilot and I will be relocating to Perth later this year. At the moment I fly a AEROS ANT trike with a Discus 15 wing.

     

    I'm looking forward to some good flying weather down under.

     

    Kind regards,

     

    Iain.

    Hi Lain,

     

    Check us out at www.ywgm.com.au.

     

    When you get here we can have a chat some more...

     

    Cheers.

     

     

  4. I understand the 3rd Oz jet is at Jandakot for training purposes. Rumor is that they BORROWED some fuel, apparently a couple of pilots from the US arrived early one morning, flew it to jandakot, jumped back on the plane headed back to the US and no body or everybody knew nothing. APPARENTLY.

    Correct Groundhog. The third (or first) aircraft was flown to Jandakot by nobody. it is used by Polytechnic West (TAFE).

  5. We have begun a journey to save 2 ex OzJet 737-200 aircraft abandoned at Perth Airport.

     

    We intend to dismantle and transport them by road to York,WA. approximately 100 km's east.

     

    Please see www.737-200.com.au

     

    Appreciate any assistance, advice or help spreading the word.

  6. Back to support for existing airfields...

     

    Of the few places we can go in WA some of them have banned Trikes and Gyro's further decreasing the options to land.

     

    Have a look at Northam YNTM a public airfield. Come on RA-Aus show some support.

  7. Iknow there are many pilots without facebook or other social media, do you believe there be enough interest to generate a mailing list?

     

    Perhaps compiled and maintained by someone independent of any particular club or aircraft breed.

     

    Someone with an aviation interest of course.

     

     

  8. With so few events apparent in WA, one of the things we are lacking is communicating to each other any small of large event.

     

    When something is organised, somehow we manage to get the dates to coincide with each others plans, some sort of forum or central point(s) of contact for announcing such events to all, including GA and all flavours of aviation is long overdue.

  9. I am all for some kind of get together in the between years. I would like to include GA and encourage the Public if practical. An RAA representative should also be present, with plenty of promotional material!

     

    We would be happy to host something at YWGM, though we would need lots of help and ideas :) ...

     

     

  10. We also attended one of the meetings (Cloud Dancer) on Tuesday. I voiced my opinion regarding their involvement at the show.

     

    Apparently they were 'busy all day talking to the public'; at the Oz-Runways stand for some unknown reason?

     

    In the meeting both acknowledged that communication, particularly to us westerners needs improving. Overall I do believe RAAus are doing a good job.

     

    The meeting went for over two hours with many things discussed, I presume it was a similar discussion everywhere, topics ranging from with from the constitution (too may) to promotion and instruction.

     

    Many technical issues were also discussed.

     

    The meeting had an informal approach, which is good, both sat out at the front of perhaps a dozen people. I was surprised that they didn't take any notes at all. I couldn't help thinking all this may have all been just lip service. Will they remember all that was said when back in Canberra?

     

     

  11. Yep, we had possibly the largest static display there with two Foxbats and a marquee, 4 of us were representing Foxbat, SkySports Flying School and White Gum Air Park.

     

    We are all impressed by the professionally run Aerofest. Busselton Aero Club should be proud of their achievement. A job well done presenting the largest fly-in and airshow in Western Australia. Looking forward to the wonderful hospitality in 2018.

     

    Extremely disappointed in RA-Aus and a little angry considering they are in the state anyway. Not one ounce of representation at the states biggest airshow? Did they even attend? They didn't come to our stand. A missed opportunity at our expense... Grr
