Welcome to the home page of the Sunraysia Gliding Club.
Mildura is a fabulous place for gliding and this Club is as good a facility for training and flying
as any in Australia. If you live in Mildura or perhaps just visiting, come out
to the gliding field on any Saturday and see how we operate. If you would like to
experience a flight in a glider, we can arrange to take you for an air experience
flight in one of our two seat gliders with a qualified flying
instructor. This will cost just $50 for about ten to fifteen minutes in the air.
If this makes you want to learn to fly, then take the next step and join our
club.
Information about costs. As a club member, you will receive flying lessons in the Blanik two seat
glider. When the instructors consider you can fly safely on your own, you can
then fly solo. This will be a memorable event in your life. Most people get to
this stage after about 60 flights, sometimes more, sometimes less. The club has two 2 seat
gliders and two single seat gliders offering training and cross country capability. In addition,
there is one privately owned glider and one privately owned motorglider. This is a Sinus two seat glider
which is in the ultralight category. This is a new type, new to Australia and is worth seeing. To find the
gliding club, just go to the southern end of Deakin Avenue, turn right into
Whitecliff Avenue and take the track about 100 metres along on your left at the sign.

its gliders. The winch is fitted with guillotines for safety.
