FLYSITES

- Flinders Monument

DESCRIPTION

Hazards/Comments The Monument works in an Easterly wind direction and gets a bit wild when it blows up to 20knts. The takeoff can be difficult. DO NOT under any circumstances fly in close to the cliff after take off if you are below the top of the cliff. Landing in the vacant land down the road to the North end of the ridge should only be attempted after discussing the hazards with a local flier. Beach landings are safer, but can still be tricky as it is a narrow beach with turbulence at the base of the near vertical cliff. The Monument site can be beautifully smooth when blowing 14-18 kts and straight on, but we have seen more near serious accidents here than possibly any other Victorian site. The takeoff for paragliders is VERY tricky.
