Description
530M altitude facing Easterly. The launch can get strong thermic gusts. Pilots must contact the Canungra Hang Gliding Club before flying. The well maintained launch is on private property beside a road and easy to access. Watch for other gliders face landing prior to take off. The site is flyable most afternoons during summer.
Power lines go from the left (North) of the launch down to the valley. They are clearly visible on one of the pictures of the launch.
A windsock is available at launch. There are toilets but no bins. There is no water available at launch or bombout so make sure you pack enough before you go for the walk back up the hill.
