Another plus for Caloundra. Great Fish and Chip shop on the boardwalk under the Breakfree hotel!
Re: Caloundra Fish and Chip Shops - Another good one is very nearby on the cnr of Tay and Maloja Aves, which has been there for about the last forty years that I can recollect and which you have to walk past to get to the beginning of the boardwalk from the airfield anyway.
There are nearby seats and picnic tables on the Bulcock Beach boardwalk so you can sit down and eat your fish and chips while admiring the view.

YMPC
If you're ever past Point Cook you can drop into my place for a beer.
OP - D'Olive restaurant/accommodation, is a short walk from YMPC (I'm sure they'd pick you up too).

Ass's Ear lodge in the Grampians
Flew up there yesterday with 3 other aircraft and 11 souls for a great night of food and wine.
Extraordinarily reasonable cost, comfortable bed, wonderful views and a 1200' grass airstrip...what more could an Auster driver wish for?
YGMP is pretty much due west of Stawell and just on the other side of the main Pyrenees range...North of Rocklands.

The vis dropped significantly coming home because all the croppies seemed to be burning stubble and there was a massive inversion so I did the last 50 miles or so at 1500'. Little bumpy as the thermals started to bubble but still very pleasant compared to recent months.
The ARO at Shepp had very kindly agreed to let us back in while works were in progress. The runway is being widened atm and I think they are doing the taxiways too.

Phillip Island is a good one if you want to take your own BBQ....
Done an evening BBQ on the beach there, very enjoyable.
OH LPG! bottles... HAZ Goods...not a problem...a phone call will see a gas bottle arranged for your use at the other end.

Haven't been there in ten years now but the Australian Hotel in Boulia Qld is but a five minute walk from the A/D. Food was great back then.
And a Saturday night there was, shall we say, an experience!

Peppermill Inn is good
Shepparton breakfast at the Aeroclub this Sunday or the Peppermill for a good steak just up the road a couple of hundred metres.
Cheers! Phil
