Just search for Bowentown on Google maps - there's only one. There's a beach at Anzac Bay with a bank behind, not very high but enough to develop some decent lift.

Nice big landing zone behind the carpark, and you can literally drive right up to the site, step out of your car and start flying. :D

Local wind was SW, but I think more Westerly in the region on the day I was there.

Probably not worth going out of your way to fly there, but if you're in the vicinity it's worth a look. 8-)

An amazing site in a stunning location. You can fly your radio control soaring machines here in most wind directions. Best suited to North East winds.

How to get there: There are two ways to get to the top - the easy, slower way and the more difficult track. If you are fit then the quicker way is fine.

As an extra bonus, there is a camp site right at the bottom of the hill

Specs: Huge lump of rock 232 metres high.post-2-13812670043722_thumb.jpg
