[Oz-mooney] Carnarvon Gorge Fly In

[T i m Hamilton]

Really Good to get so many expressions of interest, from so many people who
are looking at Flying to Carnarvon Gorge 28 -30 March. If half of the people
that have expressed interest attend we will have a good turn up.

 

Can all but assure you that there will be NO Wombats on the strip as seems
to be the case occasionally at Mitta Mitta  International.

 

Just in case anyone missed the post, details are below.

 

Happy Flying - T i m Hamilton.

I am off to the Carnarvon Gorge 28 -30 March. Anyone who would like to join
me is most welcome. I don't fly MBN enough :-) Carnarvon Gorge is a place I
have always, wanted to visit and should be at its very best after the
flooding rains experienced in that area recently.
