Hi,

I'm planning to come out to Australia in Sept to do a bit of hour building and plan to stay in Maryborough/Hervey Bay, Queensland.

I know both towns have airports with flying clubs and have been trying to find a web site for either. I've flown in Maryborough before but that was seven years ago so guess things have changed.

Does anyone have either a web address or contact email for the clubs or any members?

Cheers

Always looking for willing young up-starts... Careful of captn. Squelch though, I hear he only hires attractive young men. :uhoh:

Oh and do yourself a favour and check fuel quantities yourself before jumping in an aeroplane with him.

Thanks all, much appreciated. I’m not sure how, but I managed to miss the Sunday BBQ’s at Maryborough, however looking forward to changing that as coming from Scotland...eating outside would be a novelty!! :-)

I managed to get a couple of telephone numbers but if anyone has email addresses for the club or instructors that would be great!

Cheers
