Bald Hill, Stanwell Park is the
primary site used, with amazing views of Grand Pacific Drive. Undoubtedly one of the premier coastal
flying sites in the world, located just 1 hour south of Sydney.
We are able to utilise this site when the winds are from the
south/southeast. The site is about 500 feet high above the
sea level, providing spectacular views of Grand Pacific Drive, the Royal National Park and the coastal escarpment.


From Sydney, take the Southern Freeway (F6) past Waterfall
and keep travelling south until you reach the exit (left)
for Stanwell Park.
When you reach the roundabout, drive straight through, and
stay on Lawrence Hargrave Drive until you the STOP sign. This
point is the intersection of Lawrence Hargrave Drive and Lady
Wakehurst Drive. Go straight through, travelling on Lade Wakehurst
Drive for about 200 metres and turn into the Bald Hill car
park.

Hill 60 is a great flying site when the summer north easterly
winds are blowing! Located just 25 minutes south of Stanwell
Park, Hill 60 is almost surrounded by water, overlooking beautiful
swimming beaches, the five islands of Wollongong and Big island,
a bird sactuary just offshore. So you'll be sharing the air
with sea birds, large and small, and the north easterly winds
make for warm sunny weather.
Great hang gliding conditions, and we're the only school flying
here!


From Sydney, take the Southern Freeway (F6) past Waterfall
and keep travelling south towards Wollongong. At the bottom
of the descent (Mount Ousley), continue past the Wollongong
exit on your left, and stay on the highway, as it bears to
the right. Remember, do not take the Wollongong exit (left).
Travel on the freeway until you reach the Five Islands Road
Exit on your left (Exit No.155) for Port Kembla. At the traffic
lights (50 metres), turn left onto Five Islands Road and continue
on this road until you pass the steelworks. As soon as you
pass Blue Scope Steel signage, that is at eye level and on
your left hand side, take the immediate exit to your left
(Exit.155). Five Islands Road then changes into Military Road.
Stay on Military Road until you start an ascent towards Hill
60. At the end of the ascent, turn left and that will bring
you to Hill 60.
