Stillwater Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I left Bathurst in the morning... ... to reach the Great Dividing Range only a few minutes later. It just takes about 15 minutes to reach the Hunter Valley - ... ... do you see the blue balloon just next to Cessnock´s runway? Here you can see it better, though surrounded by reflections. In the evening I went on, after tasting the products that are made from these rape fields. A golf course with an airport. Very useful for a short flight. Maitland, just some miles north of Cessnock. Here I follow the Hunter river on his way to the Pacific... ... towards Newcastle. Slightly south Belmont comes into view... ... and, finally, Aeropelican. Should I land on the airport... img]https://i.imgur.com/AAQa7Qi.jpg[/img] ... or on the beach? OK, I´ll be a good guy (having Christmas in mind...).

olderndirt Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Quite a trip Gerold in that great little Legacy from Realair. Never have tried products from rape fields but have, on occasion, tried some from grape fields (vineyards in places) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I visited a vineyard that made its own wine and cheese close to the airport many years ago, very tasty it was too. It's effects must still be lingering after all those years as I didn't see the balloon either, I was looking too close to the ground. Another wonderful post Gerold, I am enjoying both Jacks and your trips around down under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the ground and after wine tasting they should be invisible... plus I think they only get up in the morning breeze (which means a lot of wine consumed while waiting the whole night). 13 hours ago, lauriebe said: Very nice shots Gerold and I did spot the balloon. Thank you Laurie. I´ll keep my eyes open during the next flights, maybe there are some more around? 13 hours ago, paulb said: Super flight Gerold! Very well done Thanks Paul.
