Kulnura: 21 April 2007

[Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin)]

I cherish the thought of going on saturday night as i am working this morning and missed the new moon last night ( not to mention the back neighbours new portaflood light which shines in my yard nightly)

Can somebody tell us who the contact is at kunurra and his/her number and also is there a designated area where we can set up.

I haven't been there before but i am happy to do the contacting.

Also is there only the one entrance?

My wife and I frequent yarramolong but don't necessarily go up ?Greta or ? Spring Rd.

It's 0645 and I am off to work but I will try and check my emails/ thread during the day for any responses otherwise my mobile no is 0411438858

Thankyou and have a great day

Arthur

Dear Arthur & Arthur,

Without wanting to discourage you generally, as it is private property with guard dogs, I would suggest you should wait until a time when some of the regulars are going. We want to keep in the good books of the owners, and in that regard, I would not like to alienate them by having people they have never met call them to come and use the site. Best if the people who they know make any such approaches.

Perhaps those of you keen to get together could find another site to get together near there?? I have heard from someone that there is an airfield at Mangrove Mountain that is perfect for the task.

OK catch you again soon.

Hi Rod,

Mark Suching might be able to provide some advice on the airstrip
as I understand that's where Mark would be flying gliders out of.
When I last checked it about 12 months ago, it was still reasonably dark,
though that whole road was spoilt with the advent of street lighting
in the last few years. Mai and I use to use the sports field a few
hundred meters down from the airstrip for Argo Navis testing. Unfortunately
the neighbouring RFS station added a large spot light that spilt over into the
area we would observe from. The Central Coast Soaring Club operate out of the
airstrip and Mark might be able to advise if they are the actual owners of the
property. Keep in mind that in comparison to, say, the Paint Ball Place,
you are just that bit closer to Sydney and even worse in the light pollution stakes,
the Central Coast, and hence the skies themselves are not as good.

Best Regards

Gary
