DESCRIPTION
: A mellow site with a fantastic view,
overlooking the tranquil Indian Ocean and the holiday town of
Wilderness. A favourite for flying schools.
WIND : S - SE
LAUNCH : a gently-sloped grass
field which becomes steeper - perfect!
LANDING
: Anywhere on the beach, well clear of sunbathers and
beach-goers. In busy season, please land beyond (to the east) of the
rocks which border the first section of beach, as that is the most
popular area for bathers. If you’re stuck without a retrieve vehicle, a
path leads up through the forest, beginning from the carpark area.
DIRECTIONS : refer to the Fresh Air Site Guide.
RECORD : Tom Edwards, to
Buffalo Bay
