Parapente -HG Tongarra

The launch site at Tongarra is situated at an elevation of 620 meters (2030 feet) above sea level, located approximately 15 km from the coast. This site offers a mix of coastal and inland flying conditions. When preparing for takeoff, take extra care to ensure both wings have equal exposure to lift. The bombout paddock requires a long glide out, approximately 5.5 to 1, so pilots generally turn left after launch. For landing, the bottom landing zone is on the north side of the Illawarra Highway, specifically the second paddock south of the dairy shed. This is private property, and there is a good relationship with the farmer. Top landing is possible but expect some turbulence due to the proximity to the escarpment. To reach the launch site, start from the Robertson pie shop, take the Jamberoo Mountain Rd, and turn left into Lees Road. Continue to the escarpment lookout, proceed for another 100 meters, and take the first turn left to launch.
