VH-KDK Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Anyone who has visited the north coast of Tasmania will be familiar with the prominent Mount Roland. Also a good opportunity to test out the IRIS Jabiru J160 in V4.0 1. It is raining as we taxy out from Devonport. 2. After lifting off from 32 over the sea we are heading inland again over YDPO. 3. The Mersey River Conservation Area at Tarleton. 4. The Forth River has been dammed to form Lake Barrington. Mount Roland is now clearly in the distance. 5. It is easy to remember Mount Rowlands 4049ft height in metres. It is 1234msl. You can just make out Claude Road strip to the left of the Jabiru. 6. There are plenty of great bush walking tracks in this conservation area although the idea of a cable car to the summit has the local opinion divided. I am not local but I think it should be left just the way it is. The rain has finally stopped. 7. Horses and cows greet us at Claude Road.8. With the trees I think this is a very poplarplace to visit. The Jabiru is for V3 but works as expected in V4 and it is still a pig to handle on the ground.

Stillwater Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Fantastic shots of "the other end of the world" (compared to your recent posts... basically it is the correct end!). Some typical May weather and I am happy to see so much OZx stuff is working for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Gerold, I thought that Oz would be the proper place to try the Jabiru but I suppose I should have tested it at YBUD, where good help would have been close to hand if there had been any gremlins. I am happy as well as I enjoy the OZx airports. Just tried again but the site is still down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep my fingers crossed until they are blue to support Jae getting it back online again. It is one of the most important FS freeware hosts, if not THE most important.
