One of the best landing areas is on the top of that rock spire in the distance through the saddle. Very scenic but no RFFS.

I guess nobody made a rule that you have to take it yourself ...

Whilst I have visited some awesome airports . Such as Frazer Island, I don't think one should judge a book by its cover or an locale by its airport. If tou take a generally flat site, smash all the trees out of sight, create a howling wind blown scene of desolation suitable for aircraft operations, what do you expect!!!

Stawell - crap airport, great place

Connellan, amazing scenery nearby, but avoid at airport at all costs

Willie creek, desert but amazing people, and some awesome stuff to see

Tenant creek, no reason other than fuel to ever go there

Batchelor, beautiful airport but nothing to back it up

Darwin aero club, shame it's in Darwin

Broome, crap airport, but great brewery

Albany, boring airport way out of town, awesome pubs and tourist stuff

Forest, hahahahahaha

Ceduna, again a very ordinary airport, but King George Whiting and oysters yummy!

Kadina, another windswept plain, but great seafood

Parafield, no redeeming features, also Mildura is an avoid zone.

Kalgoorlie Boulder, interesting hole in the ground and unusual town, but another boring airport.

Port Macquarie. ........Nice

Coffs, nice town, boring airport.

Merimbula, same same

Moruya, as above

LadyBarron Grass from the south on a sunny day... Amazing

Killecrankie, very un anything, but fabulous spot to have a crayfish dinner.

Cape Barron and Clarke Islands, nice strips, but no other reason to go there.

Mt Isa, great if you're keen on lead poisoning or Bob Katta, same thing really.

Fitzroy Crossing. If you really need to stretch your legs, but incredible scenery on the way from Meeka.

El Questro. Need I say more.

Innisfail, if you like fighting in pubs, rain, or 100% humidity when it's not raining

Dunk, Great Keppel and Hammo. XXX and XXXX

Polla bay, as previously posted,

Coonawarra, crap strip, awesome wineries

Leigh Creek, hot steenkin remoteness but amazing hospitality

Mt Dare, a hidden treasure.

Alice, an un hidden un treasure, but the McDonald ranges at sunset from the air are worth the effort. Visit but avoid staying.

Did I say avoid Connellan (Ayres Rock) already. Scum.

Broken Hill, interesting town, another boring airport.

Temora, this is an unusual option as airport is fantastic, town is ****e.

Young, nice cherries in season

Bathurst, avoid in the winter, but nice town and you should drive the Mountain given the chance.

Mt Hotham, great people at the airport, amazing people at Dinner Plain. Go There, it's fantastic any time of the year.

Brown Bros at Milewa. It's got almost everything but a few miles further on, after some tastings (spit I say..) Sodens in Albury can top of a great day.



That's a start.
