Last time I went along the ridge was a couple of years ago coming back
from Pt Pirie in the AAFC Falke.

Dons a biege hat,
The old AUGC site (started up by Emilis) at Lochiel had a reliable
resident ridge that ran North South for about 8km. Mostly cleared, 45
deg upslope. Had sheep, kangaroos and occasional AUGC members (with
cameras) on it. Was easily reachable by winch. Worked well in a SW to NW
breeze (i.e. useful for wintertime flying).
Great for training students in upper airwork.
Haven't been past there for years, but it is now most probably covered
in wind turbines now (Snowtown Stage II:

Season's greetings all
Michael
