Description
Mt. Tamborine, Australia
Elevation: 1916ft/584m ASL
Wind Direction: NW-SW
Paragliding: Intermediate; Supervised if under supervision of Instructor or Club Safety Officer
Hang Gliding: Supervised
Open to club members and visiting pilots.
Takeoff:
Access via sealed road along Main Western Rd, Mt. Tamborine (Refidex Gold Coast Map 23, L4). The launch site is a prime spectator spot, but please park in designated areas to avoid fines. Toilets are available at the launch site, and shops are within a 5-minute drive north.
Landing:
Main landing area is straight out from launch. Note that a horse paddock now occupies a substantial part of the parkland that was previously used as the bombout paddock. The corner area is essential for a safe approach and must not be used for packing up. The main bombout can be accessed by traveling down through Canungra, following Mundoolun Rd, and turning right into Wagonwheel Rd. Access is via the first vacant block of land on the left after Fenwick Drive.
Other landing areas include:
- Cat Motel Paddock at Wonglepong/Mundoolun Rd junction.
- Top landing at Long Road Paddock, about 1km behind launch.
No Landing Zones:
- Anywhere between the Wonglepong paddock and the concrete bridge toward Canungra.
- Old training hill, now a Polo field.
- Horse paddocks to the East of the Bombout.
- New No Landing area west of the Model Airfield (1200m circle around 56 J 508938, 6906688).
Flight Hazards/Comments:
Spring and Summer bring strong thermals with potential major sink cycles. A common situation is a westerly wind in the morning and a SE or NE sea breeze reaching Tamborine launch in the early afternoon. Assistance from a sensible person to watch for tailwind onset is recommended when launching a hang glider. Be aware of wind strength and distance to bombout areas. The launch slope is shallower than ideal and can be troubled by turbulence from the shelf in front of the launch and from trees on the sides. Face landing is for advanced pilots only when there are no public or hang gliders on launch. Avoid setting up landing approaches low over houses near the main bombout. Trees on the north side cause turbulence and wind shadow in a northerly wind. Beware of the 7500ft height limit; see airspace map.
