Hi,

From memory it is on the LH side of the Bruce HW when heading North about 10 klm South of Gladstone, there was a locked gate I can PM you a phone no if you wish.

Hi Hendonguy, I learnt to fly at Rodds bay as well as Old Station and Gladstone 13 years ago now. Kept the drifter there untill just recently when i brought it up north.

 

You need to head south from benaraby on the bruce highway approx 9km then turn right onto rodds bay road. Head down this road for a few hundred meters and turn right at the first gate after the house on the corner

 

copy and paste this in google maps to have a better look

 

Rodds Bay Rd, Iveragh Queensland 4680

 

Hope this helps

 

Matt

Have been living in Townsville for almost 10 years now and only flying when down in Gladstone. I recently flew the drifter from Rodds Bay to Montpelier Airpark just to the south of Townsville. That was a long day
