sorry Dora I waited and I waited.
there was something about the way the street pattern was truncated at the river edge so I searched google images to see what Maylands actually looked like and found your exact photo.
so good to hear from the poms again :-)
I was beginning to thing you guys thought the blue stuff carcinogenic.
Yes Forrest Airfield, one of the most strategically important airfields in the country.
From Kalgoorlie you fly out about 50 miles and pick up the trans continental railway and follow it 300 nautical miles to Forrest. everyone does it.
Dont ever fly from Ceduna and think that you will just intercept the railway and follow it back into Forrest. The ballast used on the rail to the east of Forrest is the same colour as the surrounding ground and it is ever so easy to fly right past the railway line without ever seeing it. There has already been one fatality of a guy missing the railway and running out of fuel in the simpson desert.
as dora says "open house"
