Gippsland Coast, Vic, OZ
We are just back from a great 4 days over the coast. our trip there was made so much better by the great company and guidance of Jim and his wife in their Highlander. After a nice evening in Mallacoota, we woke to a perfect day - lucked out for this part of the world and time of the year - perfect for low coastal flying. We flew for 2 hours down the coast at about 500ft to Yarram - Jim's home base and gateway to Wilson's Promontory - the most Sth part of mainland Australia. The weather was perfect for the prom so after a bight to eat we headed off. This area is Jim's backyard and he proved to be a great tour guide! We had the best time that day and Gayle and I are still on high! Spectacular weather, magnificent landscape and great company - perfect. It was our first beach landing too and learnt heaps from Jim's experience. For those of you OZ flyers, thoroughly recommend Yarram - and Jim usually doesnt take TOO much coaxing to go flying to the prom if the weather is good. I am sure he will at least point you in the right direction.
thanks again Jim - a great trip!
