Description
A low rolling grassy hill, south of the township of Yarragon.
Takeoff
Takeoff is next to the trig point and in front of the pine trees. Takeoff is from a gentle slope that does not drop away very fast. Sometimes the owner will let you drive in if it is not wet. Ask first, otherwise walk in
Landing
It is ESSENTIAL to check the landing area out before flying. Landings are made on a large paddock that has a house on the right of it and a water pump building on the left when looking from takeoff. The landing area is a long way out. The landing area is flat but can be muddy during winter and may have cows on it, usually towards evening as the cows use the paddock after being milked
Hazards / Comments
A SEVERE HAZARD exists in the landing area. There are two power lines running through the paddock. One is in the MIDDLE of the paddock running parallel with the road and the second runs to the water pump building. Land before the power lines if in doubt.
