Airfields NSW South Coast

[Roundsounds]

Hi, is anyone aware of any available airfields on the NSW South Coast between Wollongong and Moruya? I’m particularly interested in coastal near Nowra.

Jaspers Brush?

It’s been temporarily closed for upgrades for nearly 12 months.

There is pretty much nothing open to the public, east of Braidwood (disused) or south of Jervis Bay until you get to Moruya ... unless you have something that can land on water or a helicopter.

 

As a regular visitor to that part of the coast I find the lack of aviation noise quite noticeable. I've only seen aircraft flying between Woollongong and Canberra or Wollongong and Moruya.

 

In between Burrier and the Shoalhaven river you might find Yalwal which is west of Nowra and not really on the coast.

 

There is what appears to be a cleared field 800 x 150 metres angled at about Magnetic north at Woollamia Rd Woollamia and inside the Nowra control zone. Also near there is the Woollamia Visual reporting point WOI.

 

For me the biggest issue wouldn't be finding somewhere to land, more like how to get into the nearest town. I will speak to the NSW Parks people when I am there again at Easter.

 

What are you planning to fly and land?

I’ve got a Piper J3 Cub, happy with 400m with clear approaches.

It’s pretty hard trying to get tiedowns to stop the Cub blowing away at any location, let alone a beach!
