Astounding.  I was wondering how he did it.

I did not realise that he was flying the cliffs of the Great Australian
Bight.

It looks OK in the pictures but getting below cliff level must have been a
bit scary.  I wonder why he did that?

I watched Wayne Blackmore flying at Tower Hill in western Victoria in the
1970's.  He was wheelchair bound because of a hang gliding accident at
Point Cook, But he flew in a swing seat.  He needed a little help to take
off but was very accomplished when airborne.

He subsequently drowned when he flew below the cliff tops ( I think on the
Victorian west coast). could not get back up and landed in the sea.
