Hi,

As you suggest, Katoomba Airfield is not generally open to the public except by special arrangement by someone who knows the operator.

Not far away there is a spot I have read about. It is supposed to be very good although I have not been there. Access is open to anyone. In Google Earth it is at

33° 44' 26" S , 150° 22' 19" E

To get there from the Great Western Highway, you go along Tableland Rd, Hordern Rd, and Little Switzerland Rd, which is eventually a dirt track.

In winter there, mist and dew can be a problem after sundown, and temperatures can often get down to near 0°C. If there is much wind, conditions become very unpleasant.

In our summer though, conditions should be ideal.

Cheers
