Riverwood Downs

Overview: Riverwood Downs is the location of many of our client-funded retreats. Being only 4½ star luxury, we use it for our Outback Survival course.

Getting there: The resort is at Barrington Tops, a few miles northwest of Dungog, inside the Williamtown military area.

(So try to keep below radar and not be shot down.)

Railway Line: I find the best way is to follow the railway line from Maitland to Dungog. The railway line strings together a series of townships over which the military is reluctant to shoot you down.

Location: Riverwood Downs is at this loop in the river (you can't miss it.) On the map, it looks like Pinnochio's nose and chin. Land on the chin.

Landing: The landing site is spongy grass located at the intersection of the two dirt trails in the middle of the photo.

Parking: I usually park next to the Give Way signs, which I think is appropriate.

Going Home: I recommend that you fly up to Taree, then down the coast back to Sydney. Keep Australia to the right and you'll get back home.

Shipping: Feel free to direct boats through the channels on the way home.

Assistance: If you see someone needing assistance, drop them some Corporate Hoore brochures.

Shipwreck: Here's someone who needed some long range planning.

Rafferty's: You'll fly straight past Aeropelican, which is right near Rafferty's Resort. Why not drop in for a driver reviver?
