MurrayBridgeKid Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I am just completing my RPL and should be flying my Jabiru J160 in no time. Have started planning a circumnavigation of Australia and would like to talk to people that have done it, want to do it or want me to stop off in their home town for a visit en route. Happy flying... Jeremy
Thirsty Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 You took your time joining mate! Now I'll have to stop talking about you :) For everyone else's benefit Jeremy is one of my syndicate mates.
Gnarly Gnu Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Howdy Jeremy! Assuming you fly out of Pallamana there is an RV owner based there who did a coastal trip around Australia just recently.
Clansman Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 G'day Jeremy, can't recall meeting you, but I'm usually only at YMBD Fridays instructing at Hangar 2. Had a nice day today despite the hot weather. Flew to Aldinga for coffee, Victor Harbor, coastal to Murray Mouth return to YMBD with a friend for his 50th b'day gift TIF from his wife. First time in a light a/c of any sort and loved it. Air was smooth as ever despite the 38C temps. Don't know anyone in particular who has done what you're planning, except perhaps Ross Vining who has done it in his Searey amphibian. You could contact him via the Seaplane Pilots Assoc Aust website. He's done lots of circumnavigation of the coast plus inland diversions right through the centre. http://www.seaplanes.org.au/contact/contact.htm Good luck with your RPL and the J160.
Clansman Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 PS Jeremy - Ross is Adelaide based and therefore easy to meet

Jabiru Phil Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hi Jeremy could I suggest a Tagalong trip with an experinced firm that is based at Stawell Vic I have been on two of their tours to the Kimberly area via Longreach, Kakado, Kunnanurra, Halls Creek, Burketown, Cape York, ( Horn Island ) Weipa, Karumba sage: .on.net>, Tali <[email protected]>, Chris Barry <[email protected]> Subject: Fwd: The Mexican Maid .on.net>, Tali <[email protected]>, ChBarry <[email protected]>
Jabiru Phil Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Sorry I must have pushed the wrong key A stuff up To cut it short the experience I gained would have taken me years if ever to duplicate The very Proffesional pilots running the tour taught me heaps I was a very new RPL pilot and would reccomend something similar if you can manage it one trip included a Tecnam Warrior and a 172 so the 230 was very competative All fuel, accommadation, transport was arranged. Just flight plan and enjoy the way to go in my opinon Phil
