Options are fairly limited within the criteria of mid-week ops and at the
same time "touristy", especially if XC is high on the list of goals as
opposed to simply "going gliding in Australia"
Consider:
GCV Benalla - still a few hrs from Melbourne, but good XC options and
on-site accommodation in huts. Think they still fly mid-week, but it's
been a few years since I was there and there have been some changes.
Not sure if other clubs near to Melbourne fly mid-week - check the club
listing on the GFA web site.
Caboolture - close to Brisbane, but probably limited XC opportunity
although there are some Dimonas there to can get you into the spectacular
scenery of the Glasshouse Mountains.
ASC at Gawler - approx 1 hr from Adelaide. Has good XC conditions and I
believe also on-site accomodation. Not sure about mid-week operations.
Southern Cross at Camden (www.gliding.com.au) - < 1 hr from Sydney, flys
mid-week (Mon - Wed) and has a bunkhouse, limited XC opportunities but
plenty of good social flying, all located right on the doorstep of
beautiful Sydney which gives LOTS of touristy options.
Best to check club web sites for more details, using GFA site as a jump-off
point.
Also kind of difficult to believe that you plan a trip from UK to AUS
without first considering where you want to go when you get here ... unless
you're Captain Cook !

Anywhere where we can get him a tow and a glider for a couple of weeks.
Would be an added bonus if its somewhere near a major center with some
other touristy stuff.

Australia's a big place, in case you hadn't noticed. Where does Clive want
to fly ?

G'day All,
Dave is out bush this week and is unfortunately untouchable. Clive Bruce
of the UK was kind enough to lend his LS-8 to Dave for the 2 month period
while in the UK.
Clive has unfortunately given us only 3 days notice on arrival in Aus -
18th of Feb '06. He's hoping to do some gliding from 21st onwards to the
13th for memory. He's keen obviously for a weekday operation to do some
lesurely soaring, with a club that has bunkhouse facilities and
preferably a bar to tell lies at the end of the day.
Can anyone suggest any local clubs that may be in mid-week operation on
the above dates??
Where hoping to get in touch with Dave to see whether it's ok to fly XHC.
If its a no-goer (because uncontactable), does anyone know where we maybe
able to get a reasonable glider for Clive to fly? He has relatively low
hours, less than 200hrs.. He is also keen for some two-seater action..
Best Regards,
Adam Woolley and Paul Mander
