Does anyone remember who the operator was that used C337's out of there for many years doing joyflights. Was in the 80's before the crew from Grovedale set up a flying school using a C172 and a Senaca and a C182 on joyflights.
Bill Whatsisname from up St Arnaud way. Saint Air.
Cute chick used to fly the joyflights and she handled the Huff 'n Puff great there.
Used to fly in there lots in 172's and 182's, but only on nice days. No problem from either end.

Landing on 09
Landing on 09 can be a bit hairy. You have to fly down a valley with terrain either side. Reaaly buggers up you perspective and you can get too high very quickly. You have to concentrate on the aiming point and frly the correct glide slope.
Runway 27 is easier. The strip can be subject to flooding and gets very sof once you are off the the strip. Have seen AC bogged their.
