tim_A Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I had some wonderful stories lined up for my trip back from Apollo Bay... Moorabbin, Point Cook, Point Cook, Lilydayle, Healsville (a right b**ch to find, even if you know where it should be! Very nearly gave up on that one!), but tragically some twonk forgot to put film in the camera! (ie forgot to run Fraps) So, with ears firmly boxed, and the camera doubly checked, we find ourselves on the ground at Puckapunyal. This is a small field, with just an FS runway and a photo backdrop. There are a couple of out buildings too, and the usual windsock. [img width=1160 height=309]http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/2859/12828728.jpg The town on the right of the picture is Seymour. We came pretty close a while back, when we visited Mangalore, which is just the other side. [img width=1160 height=309]http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/8455/48369926.jpg We'll pick up the M31 somewhere around Broadford, and pretty much follow it all the way. [img width=1160 height=309]http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/7830/98236069.jpg ... until we reach Wallan [img width=1160 height=309]http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/583/86536962.jpg Wallan is a North-South strip that is literally right bu the highway. By following the road, it's pretty hard to miss! [img width=1160 height=309]http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/4973/35560361.jpg A nice grass/dirt strip, with lots of resident aircraft tied down and hangared.

[img width=1160 height=309]http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/2538/16583267.jpg Suddenly the lights all come on [img width=1160 height=309]http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/4520/88278267.jpg Short final for Essendon. [img width=978 height=700]http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/9139/victorias.jpg It's only a short hop up to Melbourne Intl (only have the default I'm afraid, so I didn't see much point in showing it. Which completes my tour of Victoria. Watch out New South Wales......! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
