Also of interest is the 60th aniversary (8th Nov 1948) approaching for the Ill fated DC3 "Kurana" which ploughed into the sth western slopes of Mt Macedon during lousy wx (not far from Capt Wally's place
) 2 lost their lives out of 17 on board. There is a small plaque saying as much as well as other pictorial displays of that flight up there on the Mount. Access from the carpark at walk to the memorial cross.
Early navigation was at best risky, we pilots of today fly with the assistance of the past fallen.
