Honest Government Ad | Electric Vehicles

 I had a pretty epic flight today.

I hiked up the Porongorups on the Tree in a Rock Trail.

A few days ago I ran the trail and spotted a rock section that would be good for a Southerly. 

I got lucky and today we had a light Southerly and it was pretty thermic too.

There were some clouds, but it was hard to stay in the lift under them, the wind seemed to vary between E and SW and the thermal drift was hard to follow.

I was aiming for the campsite on the North Side of the Stirling range.

I should have aimed for the highest peak I could get to and I am sure there would have been lift, but I was cold and hungry and the air was pretty rough at times.

I took the safer option and stayed within glide to a landable area.

So I landed. Predictable huh.

I was less than 10km from my declared goal.

I had a camera fail, I think I might get some footage from a hiker who was on launch.

Here is the tracklog for viewing...

Honest Government Ad | The Biggest Cuts

Free or Fair media in Australia?

 Pull the other one. 

The usual lying self interested politicians in league with the billionaires running the show.

If you watch any of the commercial channels in Australia you are being fed a diet of non-stop corporate and government lies.

My advice is don't watch TV or read the newspapers if you want to stand a chance of  being in charge of your life.

WOKE Utopia

A YouTube alternative

YouTube started out great, but the user experience has been destroyed.

Google only care about revenue now.
Now  Google  censor content for any reason that suits them.
It is no longer a free and open platform.

I'm trying out LBRY.TV by uploading some of my existing videos to see if it is a viable alternative.

I've been uploading video to Youtube since 2006 but I've never received any payment from Google.

You can try out LBRY here:

Awesome Thermals at Serpentine

It's that time of the year when the amazing thermals of summer are fading into the past.

We still get some great days, but usually with much less height.
On the plus side it is not as rough.

Sadly here in Western Australia we have restrictions on travel to the wheatbelt due to Covid-19.

Pretty much the only places I would normally go and fly are in the Wheatbelt.

Thankfully the kind owners of Serpentine let me fly there.

It is the only inland site available to me at the moment.

The SImpsons called it ;-)

West Australian Free Flyers Forums

I set up forums for the HG/PG community in WA at the start of the year, but never advertised them.

They are now starting to see more use. I always post my flying plans and there is an increasing following.

I don't use facebook (like many people) and so using a closed facebook forum as the only way of communicating with other pilots is not helpful.

These forums are open and free and all you need is a web browser on any device/platform to use them. They won't slow down your device or fill up your memory and they don't track you.

You can subscribe to threads so you get notified about subjects you are interested in.



I'd really like to see all active pilots in WA sign up so we can unite the entire flying community, it would make sharing information much easier.

You can find the forums here:
