I’ve spent circa 15 years flying RPT in and out of busy non-controlled ports, including Mildura.
In all that time - not one TA or RA, or loss of separation, or missed approach.
I understand the trepidation of some, but if you can’t get yourself in and out of an aerodrome by talking to and planning around other aircraft - should you really have the licence?
It’s not rocket science. Use time and altitude to positively separate yourself from others. Fit around others and don’t expect right of way even if you’re bigger. And if it starts getting too hard or too close or you have doubts where other traffic is, just overfly at three thousand feet and rebuild your picture/start again.
IMHO CAGROs can make life harder, and class D can be a real PITA.
