New CTAF 125.85 for Caboolture and Caloundra Effective Thursday (12-nov-2015)
For those that are unaware. All changes in the latest ERSA and VTC. Might pay to tune into 118.8 if you have a second COM.

Also some other changes for the Qld in there too.

Airservices and the Courier Mail are keeping me in touch with local affairs.
was due to the high flyers operating into Gladstone
Another missed opportunity here to split the frequencies so that YCAB and YCDR aren't on a common frequency; it gets quite busy at times, and given identical runway directions it can be rather confusing too...
Dora, Gladdy>Cab 214nm. There'll be plenty of overlap and cross-pollination even at 10,000ft or lower, the last thing the "high flyers" need at Transition. Over here, we sometimes jump when the CTAF lights up with a call from an aircraft that is 370nm away on the same CTAF.
50nm does seem a bit far out...

Agreed though, getting a separate CTAF would be nice. Then there'd be a lot more space on the frequency to discuss when the pub closes and how fast my shopping trolley goes with a 12 knot tailwind.
There's just too much unnecessary chatter (who would have thought?!) on that CTAF. It can otherwise be very valuable having the same frequency for converging YCDR/YCAB traffic entering those coastal VFR lanes over Bribie Island.
