Very interesting photos! The Hamley Bridge shot is surreal - without doubt a
masterpiece - but I sure as hell wouldn't want it on my wall! Have you
entered it in any photo comps, or tried to sell it to the high profile mags,
photo museums or whatever?
As you were in the MOTOR Falke I bet you went along the ridge at a
comfortable height above terrain with the motor running???

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
