Murray Irrigation and Local Landholder Associations offered local landholders the opportunity to participate in joy flights over the Barmah Choke recently, and received 18 responses.

A total of six flyovers with three passengers per flight were scheduled in response to this joint initiative, which was the brainchild of Local Landholder Associations.

“A huge thank you to pilot Peter McDonald (AOC Thule Aviation), whose extensive knowledge of the local landscape and its history made for an interesting and informative outing for passengers involved in the flights,” Murray Irrigation said.

Expressions of interest for this initiative have now closed.
