Thanks

Try Aero Tropics? I think they have the mail contract to Cecil Plains?

Gooday TW

Aero Tropics??? As in from CNS?

Cecil Plains is a little closer to you than it is to Cairns. The one South of Dalby I am interested in.

Thanks all the same.

Oops! Sorry. Mind in neutral. :uhoh: Had a feeling there is or was a cattle station in the Cape with the same name?

Cecil Plains 27° 31’ 48” South: 151° 11’ 27” East – a looong way from me! Can’t see a strip on Google Earth. Looks to be a long way from Dalby. Nearest may be Oakey?

a looong way from me!

Still a lot closer than the cape!

Might be a case of hitch a ride from YTWB:uhoh:

Try 27° 27’ 48.53” South: 151° 12’ 34.60” East. From Google Earth is appears to be a cross strip just north of Cecil Plains.

I said appears to be an airstrip - no guarantees it is!

Check with one of the Ag operators.

Pretty flash strip at Millmerran, only 40k's south - they did it up so Pete Beatty could fly in on the burner to open the power station:ugh:

What looks like a large grass strip in the scrub patch north of Cecil is in fact an old WW2 strip with fences across it!:eek: Not used for at least the last 20 years!

Millmerran is good though, contact mmn council.

There is a strip located about a mile to the west of the old World War II one. Get onto Sudholz out at Goondiwindi, they operate the odd charter into there every now and then if I remember correctly.
