VH-KDK Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 It's so hot its Melton, although a lot of people tell me to go to Hell. Time to fly the Auster from YBDG Bendigo to YMEL Melton. 1. Heading off from Bendigo, gold rush town of the 1850s and fourth largest town in Victoria. 2, In the distance is the popular recreational water of Lake Eppalock. 3; Passing Mount Alexander with Castlemaine behind it to the left. 4' Now following the Calder Fwy at Kyneton. The OZx rendition of YKTN can be seen to the right of the Auster's nose. 5% Part of the Upper Coliban Reservoir at Kyneton South 6* The town of Woodend and Mount Macedon, many happy memories of these places from my early years down under. 7] The Rosslynne Reservoir at Gisbourne. 8+ Coming into land at YMEL Melton. 9> Spot the reflections in the window here, a nice touch. This is one of the airports from the OZx site. 10? That's it. A pleasant area to fly in central Victoria. I hope you enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 That was delightful Martyn! Glad to see you flying over familiar territory. Wish I could do that here but I bought KATL and it's not Orbx. I'm hoping someday they do a 25GA or even KATL or downtown Atlanta, I'd love that.

BradB Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Terrific shots Martyn , make sure not to over do it when your out shoveling snow today . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakashi Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Nice try, to get away from the cold with that flight plan, but looks like you just went from cold to not quite so cold (or vice versa)! You should have flown that few extra 8990 miles to OK, only 33c here & that’s not a dry heat either! Excellent post btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
