Picked a crackin` day for a flight back down today too Kaz!
Yes...not often the Auster will fly hands off for extended periods. Sunday was magnificent except as usual the wind socks at Stawell (lunch stop) were alternately pointing at right angles to one another.
The vis dropped significantly coming home because all the croppies seemed to be burning stubble and there was a massive inversion so I did the last 50 miles or so at 1500'. Little bumpy as the thermals started to bubble but still very pleasant compared to recent months.
The ARO at Shepp had very kindly agreed to let us back in while works were in progress. The runway is being widened atm and I think they are doing the taxiways too.
