VH-KDK Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The next sector in my round Tasmania jaunt is from Mount King William III heading east to Waddamana. The distance is just 45km but there is quite a change in the landscape. This flight is done with the Carenado Cessna 152. 1. Passing back over the strip at Mount King William III 2. 3. Pump pond at Frenchman's Cap. 4.The rain has started again as we approach Lake Echo 5. Heading towards Waddamana 6. Passing over the airstrip, startling some of the livestock. 7. The airstrip takes it's name from the former hydro-electric town 11km to the north. 8. Waddamana once had a population of over 100 now it is only 4. 9. Lining up for landing. 10. The beautiful rolling farmland is a nice change from some of the wilderness strips. 11. The communications tower is a useful landmark for finding the strip. 12.The taxi is waiting to take us into town. I hope it is the black one.

RJ Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Judging by the population size I think everyone was there to greet you. Hope you got that black cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Great slow and really low flight, Martyn. I have missed out that metropolitan area on my flights so far, but it seems to be an appropriate airfield for the given population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Fantastic flight and shots Martyn!! Good one! Great set Martyn That looks like it would be a testy little patch to land in Love these undulating strips. Some being in the bush are fairly easy to find but the ones in the farm areas can be a little tricky sometimes. Thanks for the comments Chaps.
