Friendly country airfields
When you live....
Millawa
Try the Brown Brothers winery strip near Millawa (near Wang).
PPR - look at their website for strip details.
Get in, pop over the road for the winery (yep, it's a great place to take passengers) and a top little restaurant.
When I last went they even gave the pilot a bottle of wine for bringing tha pax.

Both friendly and unfriendly
The Aeroclubs in Tassie were a top bunch of people. Very helpful and always interested to hear about your trip across the pond to the south island.
Went to Ballarat recently, very interesting. The jet crowd there were very friendly, offered free coffee and if they're not busy flying, they will show you their toys.
Then we went to the Aeroclub for fuel. They're a bit on the rude side, offered us coffee then proceeded to shake a tin for donations in our direction.

Reg'll feed ya' biccies
I recommend stopping in at the Murray Bridge Flying School for Cup of Instant Coffee (on sale at Bi-Lo), stale, clearance rack biccies, and great conversation, on how you apply for a CFI position, not get through the briefing, because CASA were so disgusted with your performance, that they DEMOTE you to a Grade II instructor level. The sad thing is, is that when I was having a cup of coffee with CASA (Robert Timms, I might add) they coyly informed me of these sad state of affairs. We can always try to enjoy stories of the fishing exploits or perhaps some wily Jabiru adventure down towards the Murray Mouth... Wow! Howard Hughes would want to live and breathe again...

Thanks folks, keep them coming!!
Cobden sounds fun, Brown Brothers sounds excellent, but perhaps a touch and go at Murray Bridge to avoid the bi-lo coffee?

......Temora
Temora, try a flying weekend. Best displays in the country if not the world, if it's not a flying weekend go into town to the bakery for breaky then spend the rest of the day walking around the museum.

Yes, 
for Barwon Heads for a quickie outta EN or MB and the fireplace and clubhouse at LTV is fantastic on a windy wintery day, the verandah great on a nice one too!!
I'll second Milawa near WGT!! The Brown Bros winery & restaurant is a 2min walk across the road, its a great strip (abeit with powerlines at one end!) that could handle a Navajo or a Titan if need be and makes for a fantastic trip back to MB/EN/PC etc via the mountains/snowfields!! Go once and you'll be sure not to be the flying pilot the second time around!
