Hey, that place looks great! Now, if you could just pack it up, and stick it 2 hours NORTH of Brisbane...
I had to put the "degrees" signs back in to make it work:
28°20'09.58"S 153°34'37.78"E
Not this Cabarita:
33°50'56.69"S 151° 6'49.55"E
(I had to Wiki "truggy" - I had no idea. Full-size or RC?)

Hi pijuvwy, I couldn't find the degrees key not for lack of trying. I still can't , where is it?
No it isn't in the middle of Sydney, far from it.
We have a RC track down here where I race. I was just about to Wiki "Wiki" until it clicked and I realised what it was.
Regards,
Nigel.

I was just about to Wiki "Wiki" until it clicked and I realised what it was. ;D ;D I couldn't find the ° key either! I know it's possible, but I can't remember how. I just copied from the Google Earth location for the other Cabarita. Just proceed as though you're going to add a placemark, it gives you the co-ords in a copy-able form. |

hey nige i haven't flown there in a westerly but i reckon it could be done either off the southern bit of the headland or just off the back of it (doesn't work there's always fishing ;D).hopefully see you there mate.

How did you go Felix? The wind seemed to be SW. Sorry I couldn't make it I was racing my RC truggy all day but I got more points so it was worth it.

Good Decision Felix, that meane because you made the sacrifice not to go  you have one trip up your sleeve. My wife wants to go up the Goldie to shop in the next weeks so I will have to drag myself up with her and go for a fly at Rosins Lookout. I will let you know. Nigel |
