And I thought the aviation weather bulletins were almost incomprehensible!

Hi Dave
Apart from the fact that Michael Texler did not quote any reference
to CASR Part 137, Part 137 is for Aerial Application operations.
That's aerial agriculture and fire-fighting to you and me! It is
totally irrelevant to glider towing! Further, the PA-25 Pawnee does
not require a flight manual, as Michael correctly quoted from the
non-required list. [However, it does require a supplement for the
aerial agriculture and fire-fighting roles, as it does for the glider
towing role - BUT ONLY THE ROLE SUPPLEMENT.]
If you had a Glider Towing Supplement for your pre-2001 (unique
Australian style) flight manual, this is sufficient for a glider
towing supplement under the present rules - but you DO need to
identify it by attaching a copy to an approval page and getting a
CASA signature on the approval page. And under the former (and
present) Government's policies for charging individuals for such
services, you may end up incurring a bill for this.

If you don't understand quantum physics, don't post references about
it to prove you don't.
