Welcome to the home page of the Geelong Gliding Club
Welcome to the home page of the Geelong Gliding Club Inc..
Established in Victoria, in 1929, Geelong Gliding Club was the first
gliding club in Australia. The club was formed as a voluntary
non-profit organisation to make available the facilities for, and train
interested members of the general public in, the sport of gliding.
Since that time it has operated at a number of sites culminating in the establishment of the soaring centre located at the Bacchus Marsh Airfield ,
currently shared with two other clubs. This sites offers a variety of
soaring conditions including thermal, ridge and wave lift, while
remaining within easy reach of Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat. As well
the club operates camps for it’s members for extended periods at
various sites around Victoria.
The combined club operation at Bacchus Marsh is the largest in
Australia with a total of eighteen club gliders and five tugs. The club
owns and operates it's own fleet of training and modern fibreglass dual
and single seat gliders . Launching is provided by the club’s tugs , winch or by auto tow.
The club has a number of large hangars available for it’s aircraft
ensuring ready availability of aircraft for the use of it’s members.
Bunkhouse accommodation and catering facilities are also located on
site for the use of all the resident club’s members.
You will find us operating on all weekends, public holidays and most Fridays, weather permitting. Visitors are always welcome .
