Welcome
This website is about flying stories and spectacular landscapes. The key pages are a flight journal and aerodrome information. I enjoy learning more about Tasmanian landscapes and the environment, and I've made a start at presenting this in just ten maps (see 'maps')
Philosophy and Flying: Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all. ~Richard Feynman
Notice
This website is intended as a guide. Landing area status and runway lengths may be incorrect. Check all information before departure with private owners and operators and against ERSA/NOTAMS, and overfly landing areas as required. CAAP 92-1 requires that except in an emergency, the consent of the owner/occupier is required before a landing area may be used. Certified and registered aerodromes are subject to copyright by Airservices Australia and only are provided. For more information on aerodrome categories refer to CASA Aerodrome Certification.
