Holbrook Airpark

How can I find Holbrook

Holbrook is located midway between Sydney and Melbourne in the heart of the south west slopes of New South Wales, Australia.

Holbrook is 65 kilometres north of Albury, on the New South Wales - Victorian border, and 75 kilometres south of Wagga. As the Hume Highway runs through the middle of the Holbrook township, road travelers from the direction of either Sydney or Melbourne will have freeway conditions almost all the way.

Commonly known as the submarine town, Holbrook was named after a daring WW1 Royal Navy submariner, Leut. Norman Holbrook in 1915 and boasts significant number of district attractions for the flyer and non-flyer alike.

Holbrook is close to the splendid upper Murray region, the Kosciusko National Park and the Rutherglen wine growing district.

Holbrook, and its surrounding area, provides ideal flying conditions for both the ab initio student as well as the seasoned ultralight or general aviation pilot. Holbrook is characterised by ideal flying conditions all year round and especially so in spring and autumn. This is an important consideration when you are trying to determine where to undertake your flight training, which ultralight club to join or where to base your ultralighting activities. Give Holbrook Ultralight Club a try ..... you won't be disappointed.

Being able to rely on the weather has enabled the offer of a range of full time training packages to get you flying quickly and economically.
