Echuca Cup Day Trip

After the Hobart trip was torpedoed by bad weather, LFC flew to King Island on the Saturday of Melbourne Cup Weekend, then backed it up with lunch trips to Milawa on Monday and Echuca on Tuesday. The Echuca trip gathered five planes and 12 people, who made the trip after deciding Echuca was the safest and most logical destination, given that another low was moving in over the west of the state. Below are Sonya’s pics of the day.
