Ok thanks for that Checkboard
It's not 60, but 25 (Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide have not ever, nor are likely to be, (barring global warming) in the "north and west of Australia" (and 6 of those have ILS's), but still a very respectable list.
Your claim of "still a lot of circuits" does not hold much water when what you were probably doing was maneuvering in the circling area after carrying out some form of instrument/dme arrival.
Not really what this thread on training school circuits was about, though.
