murrayg Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Hi Everyone, We are thinking of moving to Taggerty / Alexandra shortly. Does anyone know of a private airstrip in the area that might accommodate a low wing LSA long term? Taggerty airstrip is no longer in use and Lilydale / Coldstream is a bit to far. Thanks for any info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgmwa Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 8 minutes ago, skippydiesel said: This Forum is international - learn to read posts😈 The OP asks for information regarding private airstrips around Taggerty, Victoria. Also mentions Coldsteam and Lilydale. How much more information do you need in a post? Seems clear enough to me where he meant even without checking an atlas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murrayg Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Thank you rgmwa - I did not mean this to become a slinging match - but it needed a response. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Skippy, the title and the question is abundantly clear enough - even to us Left Coasters. I think you should apologise to Murrayg for your narky questioning, it wasn't called for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 MEXICO IS HOTTER AND CLOSER TOTHE EQUATOR/. Your credibility is shot there, before you go any further. Nev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 A little closer, but probably a long shot re: available hangarage.... https://ourairports.com/airports/YELW/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murrayg Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Hi Red, Thanks for this - I have looked at that - but google satellite shows no sign of an airfield there (It is also known as Thornton airstrip) and I cannot find any contact details. It is certainly close enough though. I will do more digging on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Yea, it looks to be just over 300 metres can't find any contacts though maybe worth a drive to have a look 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murrayg Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Yes true - further up around Alexandra is a bit better. I do realise that I am grasping at straws a bit. Not a lot of flat country around Taggerty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGM Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I think your main options would be Lilydale ($110/month on tiedown, ~$550/month hangar but may not be available), Coldstream (soon to be redeveloped?), or maybe Mansfield (Walsh's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murrayg Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Mansfield is an option but is over an hours drive, I will investigate Coldstream as well. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosi72 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Get the Country Airstrip Guide for Victoria, or you can buy online subscription within AvPlan, there are several strips with the Owner/Operator contact phone numbers: YTGG - Taggerty Y0RS - Murrindindi (Narangi) YYEA - Yeaburn YMEO - Merton below are in ERSA: YMFD - Mansfield YCEM - Coldstream YLIL - Lilydale ... there are others too, but decided not to publish their details.. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murrayg Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Hi Bosi, Thanks for these - I have looked at most of these - Murrindini looks good but unfortunately is around the other side of a mountain range. Merton is probably the best realisticly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murrayg Posted September 22 Author Share Posted September 22 Hi Bosi, Temporary move for 5 or so years - just to explore the east coast easily. We will keep our Albany place to move back to in our dotage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
