Aerodromes near Fish Creek?

[Simonflyer]

Hi Yall.

 

Ive got a plan to visit some family in fish creek over the weekend, and was wondering if there are any airfields/Strips nearby(apart from leongatha)?

 

Cheers

There's a good strip a few miles SE of Meeniyan. It is a private strip and permission required.Andrew Carmichael is the owner.There are 3 hangars and a number of interesting aircraft based there. It's grass roughly 1000 metres and from memory about 05/23. JC.

He lives at Buffalo, not far from the strip. I'm pretty sure his number is listed. Should be easy enough to find. JC.

Geoff Goldsmith is a contact for that strip also. His address is Farmers Rd Mirboo or Dumbalk.
