Australian Microlighters

Postby Gadget » Sat Apr 12, 2008 11:03 am

Are there any microlighters from the Hopetown area on the forum. I will be visiting in a while and would like to meet up with the guys.

He He He. Ok, it seems i made a mistake. My brother sent me the name of the town as Hopetoun, and I thought he had too many beers in so I corrected his spelling. He lives in Ravensthorpe.

I stand corrected but I think that is between Erens and Nerens!
I am not sure if they have powered vehicles yet :wink:

That's down in the South West of WA. You will have to pass through Perth on the way there. Give us a shout when you get here. Only microlighters that I know about down there are at Bunbury airfield and that is still a long way off!
