This airstrip is really wonderfully placed into the valley next to Cradle Mountain Road.

Next stop could be Westbury, with the famous extraction factory north of the motorway.

Great adventure series there, Gerold... I see you survived the Tasmanian Devil! :lol:

Thank you Herman. It was safely separated from me in https://www.trowunna.com.au/ , an organisation that conserves the devil in times of the TDFD pandemic.

Thank you John. The sim is our way to travel nowadays, and still we can not deduct it from the tax...

Another nice tour Gerold!  What a beautiful country this is.

Thank you Jack. A good place to be, and a bit on the fresh/cold side.

Marvelous stuff!  Never mind the Devil - did you survive the Cascade :ph34r:?

You make the point, TT. They let the travellers become victim of the Cascade without precautions!
