Find time when transiting Nowra airspace to drop into the museum at Nowra Airport. I haven't done this myself but it is on the list for next time and has a great reputation. Take a rest at Wollongong before continuing up to Victor1.
For Williamtown, flying the lane needs no clearance and is a fun flight following a railway line at 1500' Keep right of the railway going either way. Look out! As for Willy Clearance delivery, this is a mixed bag. On principal I always ask for a direct clearance via overhead Willy and sometimes even get it. Once I was 1000' above FA18's doing circuits. Other times I am told to orbit at Nobbys then fly coastal at 500'
Thanks Aussie Bob, this is exactly what I'm after. I'm keen! Good advice re the rest spots - it's nice to break the trips up. Cheers
