Rotax Discover North Burnett Rally

[Mick]

Just wondering how many of you will be taking part in the Rotax Discover North Burnett Rally being held in conjunction with NOR-RAAus Fly-in 2010???

 

This involves landing at Biggenden, Gayndah, Mundubbera, Eidsvold and ending up at Monto.

 

More details at RA-Aus member notice board (W3C 01/10)

 

I will be leaving from Bundy aiming to get to Biggenden about 8.30am.

 

This sounds like fun, hope to see plenty of others on the way........

Hi JR,

 

From the 2004 AOPA airfield directory Biggenden runway is 03 - 21, elevation is 397 ft.

 

The one I am having trouble finding any info is Eidsvold. Have found it on Goolge Earth, runway appears to be approx 16 - 34 and elevation about 860 ft. Anyone out there have any better info than this???

 

I would also like to confirm local frequencies for both Biggenden and Eidsvold.

 

Cheers

Hi Mick

 

Weather permitting I was going to try and do the rounds. Wasn't going to broadcast it so as to improve my chances :devil:.

 

Hows the weather forecast looking for the weekend :confused:

 

Looking forward to getting away

Hi John,

 

Weather should be good I think, looking forward to doing the rounds on the way to Monto.

 

We are camping under the wing Saturday night, I suspect it might be a bit chilly, Monto has gotten down to 3 degrees the last 2 nights!!!

 

Got to go and give the Skylark a bath tomorrow make sure it's all shiney!!!

 

Cheers
