Mt St Benedict - August 22



First time for us to fly Mt St Benedict (or Benny) in Miracle Valley. The road to launch is rough and requires a high clearance 4WD vehicle, so it doesn't see as much traffic as the more popular launches at Woodside and Bridal.

But this weekend a big group congregated for a ad-hoc fly in. Great views were had all day as the smoke from the WA wildfires never quite reached this part of Miracle Valley. Although I don't quite agree with Al that the air is much smoother than in the Fraser Valley, many thanks to him for excellent site guiding and developing the site (and all others who had a hand in this).
