Nov 2012 Louise O’Grady Flight Across Australia
Whoopee, I got an email from another Taildragger Gal from Down Under! It was from Louise O’Grady who is on an absolutely incredible flying adventure across Australia. For the rest of us, it doesn’t  matter where we live or what taildragger we fly, we can all appreciate and dream about doing exactly what Louise is doing right now. Enjoy Louise’s pictures and check out the link to her blog! Hopefully we’ll hear more from Louise soon.
A very proud Supercub owner!
“Hi, I am currently flying my Super Cub on a big trip across Australia. I left Melbourne 14 days ago and arrived in Perth last Friday. I am now on my way back to Melbourne, and dropping into Port Lincoln on Thursday to meet the Super Cubs there. I have only just found out about LadiesLoveTaildraggers, it is fantastic. Philip Jones told me about you!”
