Grossard Point, Phillip Island

From the end of Devon Ave walk right a bit to get a clean launch.

Landing

Top land or bomb out on the beach and walk up via the stairs at left.

Hazards/Comments

HG Notes: Rated HG Intermediate mainly because the beat is short and landing areas can be tight. Don't fly at high tide; top landings in a hang glider aren't recommended as the brush on the clifftop causes a severe wind gradient in the last few critical feet. The best place to land is on the beach around the point to the left of takeoff at the base of the wooden stairs. You will need good crosswind landing technique as there's not a huge amount of beach, usually.
