Welcome
to the beautiful Sunshine Coast! The Blackall Mountain Range and Conondale Valley sites offer fantastic inland flying with great cross country potential. On the coast, you can experience the magic of sharing the air with the local sea eagles. Soar high together over rocky headlands and cliffs, they may even teach you something about flying or even fishing, the eagle's way! You can cruise over beach front resorts and million dollar homes or fly for kilometres over deserted beaches. Using the dunes for awesome lift, you can get up high over the water and carve it up for some extreme fun or fly low and fast, playing in the forgiving sand. A highlight is the once in a lifetime experience of watching the whales play during their migration along the coast, whilst you soar silently over head.

From Coolum most of our sites are within 5 minutes to one hour away. This allows us to easily fly multiple sites in one day if we choose to, or the wind changes. We often fly cross country at our inland sites and then return to the coast for some great soaring, whilst watching the sunset. A fantastic way to finish off an epic days flying. |
