Bindoon to Lameroo and return Easter 2007

[Adrian S]

Guys,For the next Nationals a few of us are exploring the possibility of flying from WA to SA and return. Yes I am sick of turning up at ASRA Nats and watching others fly ( no disrespect to the guys who have lent me there gyro"s in the past for the odd fly but its not the same!). I expect that you will need two weeks off work - 3 to 4days to get there, 2 to 3 days for the Nats and

Just a quick update,Initial planning for the trip has been completed. Planned departure Wednesday March 28th from Northam. Northam has been chosen instead of Bindoon as RAAF have got nervous about numbers transiting their airspace. 8 gyros and associated ground crew.35 to 40 hours flying time depending on winds.Most pilots have chosen not to fly the return to Perth, I wonder why!Adrian

[Des Garvin]

I am looking forward to this trip as I can see this will be a very memorable experiance.Thanks Adrian for yours and others who started the planing.Ok a question to any truck drivers in South Australia, What is your transport Authority rules on the log book rules is it the same as W.A.Your info will be appreciated. Thanks Des Garvin
