Guess where?

That’s close enough for me. It’s a way North and East of the Dutchman’s at Quorn. I’ve been unable to find a name for these ranges in the foreground, but it’s about 50km due exactly East of Hawker, and a bit South of Willeppa.

It’s very small in the picture as quite distant but Wilpena Pound is visible on the right.

Pretty good line of work you’ve got there @Parorng. :+1: I love the colours flying over Australia.

There was another strong clue on the forum if someone had noticed…

For your Australian flights, get the salt lakes fix - it’s much more realistic as most lakes are actually dry across the country.

However saying that, Lake Torrens and Lake Eyre both have some water in them at the moment, which was a treat to see.

So is it me up, or TheDuck? He did find it first.

If it’s me, for the benefit of those who aren’t working strange hours like me, and going to sleep for the next few hours, here’s my submission. Ignore it if it’s not. :grin:

Yes it’s your turn.

I do have the salt lakes fix, one of the first I got after switching from xbox to pc, and it makes a huge difference. The water just about visible in the picture is the top of Spencer Gulf and that’s always wet. :grinning:

Hey, no problem : your turn !
I need to renew my pics, anyway… a little bit of sorting in my 2.4k screenshots.

Ooh it’s been a few days…

Hint #1: The beach nearby is gorgeous, but we can’t swim there due to jellyfish and the odd roaming crocodile, and sometimes a shark for good measure.

Did we move to QLD?

Not yet… But the preference is in. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Are U flying a model aircraft in the sim ??? :wink:

You’re right. Nice idea from Parorng. That would be a very dangerous place for a real GA airfield, considering the main airport nearby.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Is that an answer? I got called out flying for a few days, so it’s probably safe to name and move on.

Allright, it was another hint as I had found the place : Eastpoint aeromodellers club. A mini airfield inside Darwin, Australia. The main runway is 175m long.

Here’s my next one, probably quite difficult :

That previous did look like Aus, and I did search the whole top end but somehow missed it. It would be nice if the sim drew actual gum trees in Aus instead of not gum trees.

Wait so that is not a 1:1 aircraft runway? I could definitely land a few planes on that no worries. Gonna try! Where in Darwin is it at so I can find it easier? :slight_smile:

“considering the main airport nearby”. You won’t find much of a range of large airports anywhere near Darwin so I imagine you’ll only have to look in one place. :wink:

Oh man. Coordinates or a general “north east of YPDN” (or whatever it is) would have been more useful than this silly game!!! :rofl:

Can definitely land a real size Wilga there though! And DoubleEnder. And a few others I can think of! Landing challenge anyone?

Well I haven’t found it myself yet, so any coords I gave you would be very misleading, but I sure will be looking again when on the sim later.

Got the Graavel in and out without a problem. It’s in much better condition in real life!

As I find out flying in this region. Kununurra, Gove and Groote Eyelandt are the best alternates, as Tindal Air Force Base in Katherine is currently not available to us Civvies with their runway works going on.
