I just fly a powered parachute my airfield use to be the now site of the new Sydney airport site at Badgerys Creek , so was flying locally around at about 1000ft this day nil wind clear sky, the locals were bought out and the homes demolished , so this area that I am not familiar with all I normally stay clear not to disturb the neighbor was just open land with scattered trees I flew down just below tree top and flying between them .My Aerochute speed is constant at about 50km/hr nice and slow well flying along I noticed power lines ahead of me on the main road further over as I got closer I realized other power lines were directly in front of me about the same level as the main road power lines and heading strait for them ,no where to turn trees either side of me,to late to land I went to full power and climbed just passing over by about a meter,if I had a passenger I would have flown into the power lines . I dont fly that low and will not go below the tree lines unless taking off or landing, that day was a lesson learnt ,I have the Video check it out -
