Parachilna - South Oz
Hi all,
Looking for info on airstrips near/at Parachilna in South Australia (approx 100nm NNE of Port Augusta).
Nothing in ERSA, I don't have any airstrip guides handy and google earth shows the old airport with what appears to be a large white cross at the intersection.
I have heard incidental stories of an unofficial airstrip somwhere near the pub?
Looking to take a Lance in there next week,
Cheers,
UTR.

I have no first hand knowledge. Broken Hill WAC and 2004 AOPA guide talks about a strip at Blinman.

You can just see it in Google Earth. It doesn't sound too flash to me....and probably too far from Parachilna.
Ring the pub and ask them?

Parachilna
I go up there in a cheiftain from time to time and we decided about 2 yrs ago that the airstrip at the pub strip was unusable.
The next nearest in Commodore Station about 10 nm to the south.
N/S Rwy about 950m and a little sandy not soo good in heavy rains but handles hot and heavy 402 and Cheiftain
I dont have any Lat and Long at hand but if you call the parachilna hotel and speak to the owners they will have details.
Permission is required and a landing fee of twenty dollars cash is required before departure.
Word of warning: seroius bird ,Kangaroo, and Emu hazards exists
Happy Landings
