Hey guys,
I was just going through the locations page and thought I'd add something to the alex area. From the site opposite Bukatilla St, if you drive up to the top of alex there is a monument for the HMAS brisbane. off the front there is quite good in an E/ENE and you can have a bit of light DS fun behind the tree line (watch the pedestrians!!).
Only problems about the site is that you have to launch from the platform in front of the statue and it's a bit of a throw to get it over the tree line (first time I flew there took a big of guts to chuck the plane out . Also there is a walking path just before the trees so you need to keep an eye on the path when landing, etc. And you don't really want to crash. I haven't yet but I would think it's pretty tricky to get the plane back.
I'll post a photo when i get a chance.
Just thought I'd let everyone know!
