Accomodation Near Bankstown

[Northern Chique]

After cruising the various sites related to Sydney and thereabouts, I havent had much success finding someplace to stay while I do an IFR renewal. 1st March to the 3rd.... seems most places are booked out for the Mardi Gras....

If anyone can help, please dont hesitate to pm me if you dont feel like posting.

There was/is a place out at Wankstown run by Spotless Catering, about $80/week, share on the bathroom/kitchen, at the back of the new Proflite office - give them a ring.

There is also a converted hanger or something behind some prop. mob. It is also share but alot nicer, about $110/week or something, exactly what you need if only there for a week or two - you will probably pay a higher price than the above if staying there for a short time.

Good luck!

Oz, unfortunately no.... the only authorised chappys either only do in house stuff or visit Darwin.

The only school is owned by my ex boss, and for those who know the circumstances of my departure from that company, will understand why flying with that school is not about to happen.

Had other options, but liked the mob Ive done past renewals with, so here I go again after two years of no flying. Go figure, I must be going nuts! :p

Well folks... the renewal is booked.- arriving on the 1st... 2nd and test on the 3rd March ... and prolly the 4th, 5th a 6th as well :p


Boney, many thanks, will check out both.

Say g'day to the guys for me wouldya Chiquester!

'Specially ole Bill. If you meet Greg, then he mnight have a tale or two to tell.... hehehe:}

Ops.

Say Boney... the place called Spotless Catering wouldn't happen to have been Hotel Fleabag, aka the RAC, in a previous life, would it? :eek: Sounds a lot like it... just hope it's been improved in the years since I stayed there... :}

Most unfortunate Chiquey hon, but I see yer problem. Am I right in guessing yer doing the flying at Bill Whitworth's place? I don't think you could've picked a better place for it! :ok:

There's always the High Flyer pub at the east end of BK. A long walk from there to anywhere on the airport, but last time I stayed there (2 years ago), it was clean and the rates were pretty reasonable. Rental cars available around the area too, if you need them.

[Northern Chique]

Daaammm! Is nothing secret! :p

Yup, goiing to see Bill and the guys, to try their patience once again! and I will pass on all hellos!

And the Flyer may sound like a good start!

Thanks again

[OzExpat]
