About Our Flying Sites

South Australia has coastal sites within 2 hours south of Adelaide that provide wonderful summer and winter flying, and inland sites with outstanding cross-country potential within 2 hours north of Adelaide. Tow paddocks on private property north and east of Adelaide provide further opportunities, and there are spectacular sites elsewhere in the state too. 

We love to welcome all interstate and overseas visitors, but new arrivals PLEASE!, before visiting the sites you MUST contact a local person to clear it (see our main page for the contact numbers) , as all but a few of our sites are on private property (someone else’s back yard) and may require keys or daily permission from the owners to fly there.   Restrictions on access vary with; fire ban, lambing and cropping seasons, weather dependant roads and other local issues, and flying and landing restrictions may apply.  Site ratings also vary, with some launches being Advanced only, or requiring supervision of novice pilots at certain times (eg high tide)

  • The main Coastal sites flown are, Tunkalilla, Myponga, Ochre, Sellicks, Cape Jervious are a wonderful serious of green coastal cliffs that provide wonderful and scenic ridge soaring
  • The main Inland sites flown are, Barn Hill, Illawarra Hill, Lochiel ridge, Point Pass ridge, Hallet Hill, Mt Bryan and provide excellent cross country potential
  • Microlight pilots fly from a number of Airstrips, including Gawler and Strathalbyn, and hold regular flying trips around the state. Contact for flying itineraries

We apologize for not having detailed information here about the sites, but due to the sensitive nature of our flying sites and the fact that they are owned by private individuals, who generously allow us access, it has to be this way.  To get too a site please go via a club contact or a local member, see the front page for contacts.  

Members may view the flying site information by following the links on our members only site ,  the direct link to alphabetical list is here

We hope to see you on the hill soon
