Its been a while back since last I had this updated, well I just get a bit lazy which is not uncommon for me when it comes to online staff. I actually did have some interesting flights even after summer had finished, one in which I clipped a downtube as I landed in a wind rotor, and that added a little to my tight budget, but anyway I had some fun.
View Over The Buckland Valley
View Over Mt Buffalo's Gorge
Nowadays I see we are heading into a cold and wet winter, unlike last years winter when we had the drought and I managed to get some nice flights. Mt Buffalo is the hit in fine and sunny weekends (which hasn't happened really in three weeks) as granite rocks heat up much better than wet ground when the sun shines upon them, that produces some light thermals making the air buoyant for extended flights, something in the range of half an hour.
Launching From Mystic Hill In Bright
Ah, one more thing, I'm flying back to Jordan for a month this summer (during OZ winter), but this time I'm going to be a passenger enjoying my window seat view. I know its going to be tempting watching summer clouds over there in Jordan and not being able to fly, especially the fact that wind patterns have a touch of west in them over summer (and hence more moisture in the air) which improves lapse rates and climbs underneath cumulus clouds, anyway I'd better not daydream too far off.
Just After Having My Flight Fix!! Fulla Life
