I towed in Benalla (Gliding Club of Victoria) in the season 2002/2003, got accom and toast for my reward.. But then again, it's effectively a non-for-profit organisation so dont feel to guilty about working for nothing.. I got myself 200hrs for the season (Oct-Mar) in the Pawnee (PA25). For some silly reason they want you to be solo in a glider to tow there, but I think some of the switched on people in ops are working to change this.

I got my first big break from working there, charter ops flew in and out ~once a week. Making my first contact by saying g'day, this soon led me to get my 500hrs MC!

I also did some time in Tocumwal, Narromine, Kingaroy Soaring Club, Darling Downs Soaring Club, Southern Downs Aero and Soaring Club (Warwick). The other major op is at Corowa (Australian Soaring Center).
