Guest watto Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Trip from Rodds Bay to Townsville route Hi Guys, My wife and I are planning a trip from Rodds bay to Townsville and need a little help planning the route! we want to stop once around Mackay for fuel, a leg stretch and a bladder unstretch and then land as close to Townsville as possible. Any Suggestions? Watto:yin_yan:
jcruffle Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Hi, Watto. Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not sure where Rodds Bay is. However if you are not able to land at Mackay itself, there are another couple of options including Airlie Beach (Shute Harbour) - a new air park, fuel available, landing fee, information on the web. There is also an air park north of Mackay - I'm sure one of the other forum members will be able to help there. As far as Townsville is concerned, there are a couple of options. One (Montpellier) is the closest, but hangarage may be a problem; not sure. I keep my plane at Starke Field. It is about 30 minutes out of town, but I'm sure we could arrange some kind of lift for you if you contact me direct. John
Guest watto Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Thanks John, that sounds good, I will be in touch. Regards Watto
Guest Maj Millard Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Watto, are you coming up for the V8 races ?....Andrew Hicks at Montpelier said he already has a couple coming in there that weekend....................................
Guest watto Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 No Maj, my wife has discovered a friend from her school days on face book and has not seen her for many years back in her country so that is the reason for the trip. Watto
Guest Maj Millard Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Any excuse mate for a long fly, the weather recently has been real nice with lovely crisp air and visability for ever. Have a nice flight. If I know your in the area I'll fly over and see if I can hook up. Any dates yet ??.......................................
Guest watto Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 not yet Maj, but Iam thinking third or fourth weekend next month as I only get the last 2 weekends per month off. That would be great if you are pokin around to catch up!! Watto
