Welcome to the Australian National Site Guide

Due to the changing nature of weather conditions, land, land owners, site restrictions, airspace, etc. it is not reasonably practicable to keep this Site Guide up to date and accurate at all times. The Site Guide should therefore be considered out of date, and all information and site protocols verified with the administering club before flying.
The information in the Site Guide is provided as a guide only. No representation is made that the information provided is current, complete or accurate. Neither Regional Associations, nor SAFA nor other contributors to the Site Guide assume any responsibility for persons relying on the information contained within it.
Prior to first flights, visiting local & international pilots should contact the administrating club for site rules, protocols and hazards.
When operating at a flying site where a duty pilot is appointed, that is not their home site, pilots should report to the duty pilot prior to undertaking any operations, or further operations, from that site.
Visiting pilots MUST ensure they are properly briefed on local requirements and conditions. Proof of SAFA membership, Log books, (VHF endorsement and radio operations if required) should be produced on request by an Instructor, Safety Officer, or Duty Pilot of the SAFA.
Ensure you have suitable qualifications, skills and experience for sites you fly. You must always use your own judgement when deciding to fly. The decision to fly is yours alone and you do so at your own risk and responsibility.
In accordance with Australian civil aviation laws, you must be a current member of the SAFA (this includes visiting international pilots) to legally fly within Australia.

Launch Navigate Map

40km north of Margaret River.

From Dunsborough head towards Cape Naturaliste. Turn left off Sugarloaf rock road onto a 4WD track. Once you are on that you cant miss it. Keep driving till you find the main carpark. It has a toilet and stairs to the beach. Drive past this to the next carpark which is the old one. If you walk north through short scrub on the track that is already there, you come to a huge clearing which is all sand and on about a 15 degree slope. Can be approached from Yallingup on the same sand track, but needs a vehicle with decent clearance to clear limestone outcrops (standard Subarus don't make it).

Description

A nice long low coastal dune site which takes a W wind, features easy access and a nude beach.

Flight

Launching from here is wonderful, plenty of space for novices to get pushed around and a clear ridge just in front. The ridge gets really high to the right and to the left its great too. You can see it from Yallingup. Not much detail for this site, usual precautions for the coast would apply, watch out for stronger winds approaching, don't take any risks with landing in the water (there are cliffs into the ocean in places).
