It's proving to be a bad year for gliding contests...the New South Wales State champs have been cancelled due to poor weather after 1 day. That follows the Queensland State Champs being washed out and the Aussie Nationals being equally as successful...not.
So much for Australia being the "big dry"...
I bet the farmers are rubbing their collective hands with glee...although now the problem will be flooding, locusts and a fire risk rather than drought.
We farmers are hard to please...a grumpy, cynical and negative lot...or so some people believe...
Flying around the central Nth Island yesterday it's getting really really dry in most parts. Whakamaru/Atiamuri looks surprisingly similar to 3 years ago when the Multiclass Nationals were held in Matamata. The only difference was that was Feb not Dec.
Roll on the club class nationals...where the weather will be perfect, the tasks long and challanging, the food excellent, the airstrips will be clear of stock, no interference from work calls, and I'll win every day...yeah right.
