How true. The whole of the western side of Port Phillip seemed a no go area during the week.
Flew into Fishermans Bend in Nov of 62. I think at that stage it did not seem to exist officially. I recall that the eastern end of the East/West runway ended at a factory wall and was the only useable strip. Once construction of the Westgate Bridge got well underway the airfield became a big construction site and ceased to exist.
Still got all my WAC charts from GA days. As mentioned elsewhere the Shell road maps were considered a valuable addition to the nav bag.
