Regards Graham and Val. More Event info. Queensland Music Festival partners with Opera Queensland for this festival favourite, Opera at Jimbour. Now one of Queensland’s truly iconic musical performances, Opera at Jimbour attracts audiences in their thousands to the fantastic location of Jimbour Station. Where else can you picnic with a magnificent sandstone mansion in the background, listening to opera! In 2017, Opera at Jimbour will be a semi-staged presentation of Franz Lehár’s bubbly operetta The Merry Widow (Die Lustige Witwe) featuringthe irrepressible Emily Burke in the title role, and Australia’s favourite leading man David Hobson as Count Danilo. They will be joined by Hayley Sugars and Virgilio Marino as secret lovers Camille and Valencienne, and some of Queensland’s leading opera performers, with the Queensland Conservatorium Orchestra and Opera Queensland’s Toowoomba Community Chorus. The Merry Widow is the fabulously wealthy Hannah Glawari, a former commoner who has been left a huge fortune by her aristocratic, recently deceased husband. Now back in her impoverished home country, she finds herself the center of attention for dozens of suitors (but not the one she truly desires, her bad-boy ex, Count Danilo). Eventually Hannah makes Danilo bury his pride and admit he’s still in love with her, and on a magical night in Paris, the two fall into each other’s arms… The Merry Widow is full of romance and wonderful popular melodies including “Vilia”, “You’ll Find Me at Maxim’s”, and the haunting “Merry Widow Waltz”. And this year we want you all to sing! Be there for a pre – show rehearsal, learn the words and music, and join in the “Vilia” chorus. And following the success of Fledermaus in 2015, there’ll be another chance to waltz the afternoon away in the world’s biggest ballroom! Pack your picnic basket, warm up your vocal chords, put on your dancing shoes and enjoy your trip to the picturesque Western Downs. There’s no event quite like Opera at Jimbour. MARKET STALLS Gates open from 10am showcasing a huge array of local and visiting stallholders offering locally produced foods, wines and other beverages, handcrafted items and artisan wares. Please note this is a licensed event, so no BYO alcohol is permitted, but visitors may bring their own picnics.

Perfect Weather at today's Straddie Breakfast, 34 planes and Pods of Whales up the east coast of Stradbroke and Moreton Islands. Photos say it all.

Just returned from the Epic Wondai Winery Weekend, the photos say it all but highlight was the welcome and hospitality of the Barambah Aero Club from start to finish. The winery tour and lunch at the Dusty Hill Winery was most memorable with uncle Arthur as a our bus driver. We checked into the Up & Country B&B with our hosts, Pilot - Chris and his wife Donna who made our stay very comfortable indeed. We ventured back out the airfield to meet more of the gyro / flying community and enjoyed sunset drinks before we all headed off to the Wondai RSL. A great night of talking everything flying was enjoyed by all, special mention must be made about about the great meals that were huge and very cheap. Waking up to a crisp clear morning, we returned to the airport for the Barambah Aero Club Breakfast. 4 aircraft from Caboolture flew in this morning to support the club which was much appreciated, bringing visiting aircraft up 10. A huge Club effort was put in by all concerned with a great sumptuous breakfast in their very comfortable club house. We sadly said our goodbyes before departing back home, in perfect weather with a 20 Kt tailwind at 5,500. From all the flyers and people who drove in to this weekend, we thank the organisers from the Barambah Aero Club and Chris and Donna for a job well done. See you again

Gayndah Heartland Festival, photos with Renee Event Manager at the festival markets and this morning's Sunrise Heritage Railway Breakfast. Good attendance all round. Golden Orange Motel looked after our every need especially last nights Christmas in July Dinner. Thanks to all who flew in and supported this event, from Rachel, Mayor and events managers.

Hi Michael, happy to help out, have spare seats in a few aircraft from time to time, will PM you with my contact details. Regards Graham

Check this out, this has proven to be a very successful addition to my plane. Xeccon Spiker 1210 - Mtbr.com It is totally independent of the aircraft power and systems. I recharge the battery pack every 2-3 months after using it weekly but only in strobe mode and within 5-10 nautical miles depending on circuit traffic. I have received a lot of positive feedback from people flying with me of its effectivenesss and has encouraged others to buy the same or similar item. I bought mine after a lot of research and speaking with local top bike shop owners. Important to note that I suggest to buy the widest angle of beam and of course the high lumens rating you can afford. I have a video of light operation but the file is to large to send, so PM me and I will email it to you. See and be Seen.

Geoff would you like to do to some flying in a friend of mines 182.? Very reasonable rates and will go halves with you anyway. I suggest going local to Air Qld to do your RPL and endorsements. They are a RAA and GA School at Redcliffe, Doug Heath is a CASA examiner and is the Owner - and best chief pilot and seniour instructor you'll find anywhere. Available Tuesday, Thursday and weekends, give me a bit of notice to request and book the aircraft.

Thanks will do, we are flying into Clifton next weekend for there Flyin.

Thanks for the info, was interested in flying in for this year's Motorsport event. The locals informed me that the airfield has been broken up into privately owned blocks and there is a plaque at the gate of the property. I will overfly and check it out soon. Regards Graham

Thanks Steve, I have been investigating a trip up there to attend the Leyburn Motorsprints in August, Again all accom is booked out, but Ithought it might an idea to go out for the day. Clifton is pretty close but we need transport to and from the event. I will ask around and see what I come up with.and get back to you, PS are you 2 going to the Cifton Flying early March ?

Does anyone have any info on Leyburn Airfield, does it still exist ? and who is the contact person for the Airfield ? There used to be flyins there many years ago.

Straddie Breakfast, another winning event today. 80 breakfasts were served at Dunwich this morning, nearly a record apparently. Winners are Grinners when the raffle was drawn. Over 40 aircraft flew into another great Flyin Breakie.

Watts Bridge Breakfast this morning was another great success, with a good roll up in picture perfect conditions. Big thanks to the many people who made us all a hearty Breakfast.

Murgon Breakfast was a big success with 25 planes attending and checked out the big improvements throughout the club facilities. We flew over to Wondai for an organised meet and greet with the local flyers who made us very welcome. The local business owner, of the Colonial Motel drove out to meet us and discussed what Wondai has to offer visitors and assured us they will provide transport to all pilots to and from the airport. The Colonial Motel is the preferred Motel by local flying schools and aero clubs. Wondai will be on the future suggested Flyaway Breakie and picnic destination list.

Val and I will see you there, flying down with Bill and Jenny Grieve on Saturday.
