Hey XXX

That strip, which is south of Narooma and by the coast used to belong to a famous Australian actor who now lives in US. He had the house beside the strip there years ago and is strongly rumoured to have only used it a couple of times (or so the legend goes). I wouldn't recommend it. I flew down there in that area for years and can't ever recall seei any aircraft there aside from a Caribou that was practicing PL's there once.

Frogs Hollow is between Bega and Merimbula so that's too far away, despite being a great place to fly.

For your cirrus or other non-bush strip types the best bet is Moruya (North of Narooma). Good airport, fuel, etc. The taxi service there is no problem if you ring well in advance. I'm sure you could negotiate a reasonable price to and from Narooma with some prior planning....

Good luck and if driving to Narooma don't forget to lock your car when parking...

Enjoy,
Stiky
