Yep, Clare Valley is amazing. Stopped there for an overnight a couple of days ago, they even have a free courtesy car! Couldn't believe it. It's the prettiest airport I've ever landed at, has a nice runway, easy refuelling, great facilities and the aero club people we talked to get the car organised were incredibly helpful. It's all set up for the visiting pilot, everything is labelled/sign posted so you know what the deal is, it's very thoughtfully organised. And no landing fees. Left a donation because I was blown away.
Also agreeing with whoever said Tocumwal, say hi to Eddie if you're up there and get a tailwheel endo in his Eurofox!
Horsham is pretty good too if you're in rural VIC, two nice big runways and comfy club rooms.
And another vote for Arkaroola. Not cheap at all, but a stunning location, and Doug is a fantastic host with a deep knowledge of the area.
