Until this takes you the other side of a river with no crossing for
50k just because the glider was closer to that road than the one you
needed to be on !
Best is to use Google Maps before you go and use the satellite view to
find access, etc - every site I have flown from the last 3 years has
had broadband.

A lot easier to give your crew the Lat/Long they enter it
into your cars GPS Navigator (you may need to
provide help desk like instructions) hit the Go To button and the
friendly lady inside provides them with directions

G'day All,
Just came accross this book @ a Benalla servo: RACV Vicroads Country
Street Directory of Victoria. So I'm guessing that there is a
simular publication for the remaining states.
http://www.mapsdownunder.com.au/cgi-bin/mapshop/RACVIC7.html
The opening page is a grid reference of the entire state. What the
Brits do is have one of these books in the cockpit of the glider,
and another identical (important!) book in the trailer or with your
designated crew. Simply ask the farmer to point on the map where
you are, then relay the page number and grid reference to your crew
and let them sort out how they're going to get to you!
The advantage the Brits had was that they have their whole country
in one book! So you may need to (depending on where you live/fly at
the time) carry two books.
Just an idea,
WPP
