CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY REGULATIONS 1998 - REG 91.370
Take-off or landing at non-controlled aerodrome--all aircraft (1)
This regulation applies to an aircraft (the subject aircraft ) at a non-controlled aerodrome at which a take-off or landing of the
aircraft can only occur from or to a runway.
Rules for take-off
(2)
The pilot in command of the subject aircraft (other than a glider being towed by a glider tug) for a flight contravenes this subregulation if:
(a) the subject aircraft commences to take-off from a runway; and
(b) before taking off, a requirement mentioned in subregulation (3) is not met.
(3) The requirements are the following:
(a) if another
aircraft is taking off before the subject
aircraft from the same runway:
(i) the other
aircraft must have crossed the upwind end of the runway; or
(ii) the other
aircraft must have commenced a turn; or
(iii) the runway must be longer than 1,800 m and the other
aircraft must have become airborne and be at least 1,800 m beyond the proposed point of lift-off of the subject
aircraft; or
(iv) the other
aircraft and the subject
aircraft must both have a maximum take-off weight below 2,000 kg, and the other
aircraft must be airborne and at least 600 m beyond the proposed point of lift-off of the subject
aircraft;
(b) if another
aircraft is landing on the same runway before the subject
aircraft--the other
aircraft must have vacated the runway;
(c) if another aircraft is landing before the subject aircraft and is using a crossing runway--the other aircraft must have crossed, or must have stopped short of, the runway the subject aircraft is taking off from.

I understand this to mean that unless the pilot taking off has
visually sighted the landing aircraft stopped short of the intersection, there is no guarantee of separation. From what I have seen on Google Earth and read here, it appears unlikely a pilot on the threshold of 11 (or holding) could see an aircraft on the runway to the west of the intersection of 06/24 and 11/29. Is that correct?
I can also picture a scenario where the landing aircraft goes around from a low height, transmits a call to that effect but it is not heard due to line of sight issues or worse, lost in the clutter of a busy frequency/over transmitted.
The question is then how often would this occur at uncontrolled aerodromes?
