Mussel Point Airstrip

[thomarse]

Mention on another blog aroused my interest, especially the Google Map:

I hadn't been there since the late 60s - early 70s when I flew in a few times, but when I drove past what I thought was the old Mussel Point about 6 or 7 years ago I gained the impression that it was overgrown with scrub. Now it would appear to be an operating dairy farm.

Can anyone confirm that it had reverted to scrub a few years back? It also appears to be an airstrip again/still - can anyone confirm this too?

Cheers

It is a strip still, I was on it fairly recently (about 2 years ago now) with the Fox Moth as the weather was too horrendous to land at the town strip.

It was fairly rough and not used very often prior to this time but cant comment on if it was overgrown.
