Flew there with Par Avion www.paravion.com.au on a Islander
PAr Avion
The GA field for Hobart, just next to the International airport - so close they use the same tower.
Left Cambridge for a tour with Par Avion, www.paravion.com.au - to Melaleuca, a remote strip near Bathurst Harbour. It was just fantastic, this is really what flying is all about.

A lovely city, and very historic.
