‘’The food is excellent - I recommend the Bickfords 2022 ginger ale for the pilot.
Not sure whether they still do it but in the past if you could not land at Milawa, SWS or just too big for the strip you could call them and they would send a courtesy car/bus to Wangaratta. We used that a few times for personal use and charters. That was almost 20 years ago now though. Last time I went there they had just installed all the accommodation. Always good to take a crock and fill up on Snow Port for later as well. We used to take Navajos into YILA, numbers were a bit 'fuzzy' with the power lines at one end and big trees at the other.
