No hire cars at Narromine. Check the SAAA site for accomodation, probably only tents at this stage.

I live in Narromine so some details for visitors

 

Two motels, Stockman and Peppercorn

 

Also caravan park at airport, few cabins and tents

 

Abbey bed and breakfast

 

Imperial Stay has pub rooms plus some backpacker style bunks.

 

Also Narromine hotel has rooms I think, some motel type and some pub rooms too.

 

No hire cars but is taxis

 

Can walk to town along golf course.

 

USMC club does meals, three chinese restraunts, 2 cafes, plus meals at 3 pubs.

 

2 servos, both do food and have PULP.

 

Obviously theres the Aeroclub which will have stuff there for the weekend.

 

Sept is mostly superb weather, cold mornings and warm days. Can get windy in afternoons.

 

East is Dubbo, RPT and all that goes with it.

 

West you can fly over lots of green wheat and some canola.

 

Cotton gins still running full steam. Lots of yellow suasages are cotton staked ready for processing. Still lots on farms too.

 

North and west of Trangie you will see big channel lining project, black rubber used to stop water seepage. ~ 60 km done, more to go. Largest of its type in Aus and maybe the world. Smaller one just south of airport just started.

 

Active Ag strip just north of Trangie - keep aware of it.

 

All I can think of , hope it helps

 

Pm if anyone needs more info or help

You still driving to Fly-Ins, Scotty? When is the camper due to fly?

 

Thanks for the info about Narromine, Jetjr. Looking forward to returning to that great aviation venue (it's like your first love, you always have a soft spot for where your first went solo!) I hope to camp under the wings if my rego is done in time.

Does anyone know if there's a section for used items for sale like the one at temora?

 

 

[peterg]

Is anyone going to Ausfly from the Melbourne area who wants to share the driving/flying/costs?

Hi Folks,

 

new to the forum, but I'm heading to Ausfly from Kyneton on Thursday, back Sunday in a club C172. I am looking for a fellow flyer to share the flying/costs of the trip if anyone is interested please send me a message. (peterg I already sent you a pm if you're still looking.)

 

Thanks

Hello Kieran, sorry I can't help, but I hope you get to Ausfly. I plan to pick your brains about your club and the airport. Prom previous conversations with people from Kyneton it looks like we can learn a bit from you. I will PM you with my phone number.

 

 

[Kieran17]

Just to add, the offer is also there if anyone wants to jump in along the way between Kyneton and Narromine. Happy to stop along the way at Shepparton, Narrandera, Griffith or somewhere between here and there if someone wants to jump in...

 

(I don't know how to edit the last post to add it in...)

 

All the best

 

Kieran

 

 

[Ultralights]

Ill be there. flying in Saturday in company with another aircraft.

 

 

[Kieran17]

So far no luck with finding another to go in the Kyneton C172, time for plan B... does anyone else who's flying up from the Melbourne/Victoria region have a spare seat for a fixed wing/helicopter pilot/air traffic controller who doesn't want to have to drive up?

 

Otherwise plan C will be driving I guess, no where near as much fun...

 

Thanks All
