Want to know more about Adelaide-Gawler?
Class: probably on a Mixed 15m to 18m class, more info to come
Adelaide Soaring Club at Gawler sits at the southern end of the Barossa wine region and has ample accommodation in the town of Gawler and local area. A large caravan park in Gawler has air-conditioned units available to hire, and accommodation and onsite camping are also available at the Gawler airfield.
Tasking will be predominantly over flat farming country with low hills to 2,800ft in the northern task area. The task area covers the Barossa Valley and extends north from there, as well as east over the Murray River to Waikerie. The area mainly supports winter crops with grain crops harvested before the competition providing good outlanding options throughout the task area.
The contest period is in the peak thermal soaring season of the year. Variable medium to strong thermal conditions are expected with mixed cumulus and blue days, and heights typically between 4,000 and 14,000ft. We have an experienced team to run the event and look forward to welcoming you to Gawler for a safe and fun week of flying.
