Worth a visit

Yep, strip still in good shape last September, I am sure it still is so long as it's dry. Small "museum" at the strip, only a short walk to the Dig Tree.
Strip has a nice surface (when dry, anyway) and plenty long/wide enough for the average lightie. A little hard to spot the first time, so need to stick with the map reading (it's on the river, of course) and/or have the GPS loaded. Details in the AOPA Airfield Directory (you're after Nappa Merrie Dig Tree, the other Nappa Merrie is the station).
Bomber is a top bloke and will happily tell you anything you need to know for your visit.
