A quick blast back out to the second Berrima strip, and then we're going to fly the RNAV approach into Camden...

Yup, even pilots have their trailer parks!

It's important to check at these skydiving centres - even before you start your engines - that there are no meat bombers about...

All's clear, and off we go

Looking down on Wilton

After initially following the road, this cone-shaped hill has been a good navigation target for us to aim at.

Overflying the strip. It looks rather tight...

Um... no.

Ok, that's a fail. There's absolutely no hope of getting in there in this plane!

The first part of the instrument approach takes us along the edge of Lake Burragong.

I find the hardest part of flying these approaches is managing the descent..

At the final approach fix, we look up and there's the runway. Luvvly jubbly!

Camden has been well and truly Ozzx'd

Hold lights, and custom signage

Looks like a good place to park.
