The kite-fitted MV Beluga Skysails cargo ship will make its maiden voyage in early 2008 and its inventors are hoping to start a small revolution in greening our deep blue seas.

One of them is a grassy spot just uphill and north of the monument (see the link to Google Maps and Google Earth above). You normally launch from Scenic launch just to the north of this... mehr

Last Saturday Newcastle hang gliding club members went flying at BrokenBack mountain, about forty kilometers west of Newcastle and a popular site when the thermals are coming up the north facing (into the sun here in the southern hemisphere) slopes. The winds were forecasted to be light northeast. They turned out to be from the west above the... mehr

After flying the trike around Newcastle, I had the opportunity to go coastal flying in a moderate southeast breeze, a little too light for dune gooning. I was flying an Airborne Fun 190 so I got stuck in a small lift band, but for excitement I got the chance to practice top landings on the small launch in an easy to launch and land glider.
