I was sitting in Refuge Cove at the bottom of Wilsons Prom on Monday, there no less than 10 light singles flew to Flinders/Tassie along the East side of the prom (usually travelers from the east coast of OZ). Some of them were even Rotax powered. Everyone is doing it, get going!

Well, I made it!
Beautiful morning departure from Yarram, A095, tracking via the islands to a relatively calm Flinders (050/12)...
Tis a beautiful place indeed - reminds me of the motherland!
Thanks for all the advice guys!

(You made your Yarram inbound calls on Centre Frequency)
Thanks also to the Virgin pilot who pointed out that my amended sartime of 300000 was actually yesterday and should be 310000!
The things one learns on trips like this are enough to fill a book...

Looks remarkably familiar there Teal, not many boats in your pic which is a surprise. The most I've seen in there was around 20-25. This week gone just after Christmas there were 8-10 at times.
It was a pity you didn't have floats "Girl with a stick" as you overflew arguably one of the best destinations in the world. Some yachties have been all around the world and come back to say that "Refuge Cove" was the best place they had visited.
If someone wanted to fly float-plane charters into one of the nicest places around, just an hour from Melbourne, here is your opportunity.
My ride is the Zodiac 5.5m, 1 hours trip from Port Welshpool.
The only problem with the tide though.... is that you can't park on the beach unless you want to be stranded for many hours, so this 6am swim to collect the boat was a "refreshing" start to the day.
