Sinbad, that circuit depicted above must have been mighty tight, if flown at 325'. But it shows that the aircraft might still be climbing at the end of the crosswind turn - possibilities are:
a. VERY small circuit; or
b. VERY underpowered aircraft.

Picture of Point Cook doesn't show the east-west grass very clearly, or grass 13/31 which was often misread from the other end and students joined for the wrong direction.

Bluddy salt lake, ran around that one far too often. Visited the sightboard a couple of times too.
