What happened to the real long airstrip they were building at Lagauna Quays about 20 years ago? It was to be an International runway. Had got to the stage of sealing then stopped work on it. When i lived up there i drove down it and all it needed was a slash. David Mariner was behind it.

Try and find the old gliding airstrip on the north side of the Peter Fraust Dam. And there used to be a strip near the Conway Beach Rd. Are the guys still building trikes and power units for hang gliders at Prossie. They were doing that in the engineering shed on the left of the highway as you headed south. They may point you in the right direction. I doubt that you could fly from Shute 100 hr minimum and the pace has over a hundred movements a day.
