Yep, (2) Camooweal is the nearest town!

OK, any ex-Stanbroke Pastoral Co pilots in here to pick the exact location? There must be dozens of young pilots (and a few older ones) who got the illusive first 1000 hrs peddling Stanbroke aircraft.

Stanbroke (the original!) operated a fleet of a half a dozen or more C172, C182, C206's and a Bonanza/Baron for 40 years before the company was broken up a few years ago.

I know of a couple of prangs that occurred but I don't think there was a single fatality in 40 years. Says something about the professionalism of those concerned and the reliability of GA aircraft.
