King George
Description
Follow the King's Highway east out of Canberra and then fly over Lake George, the largest body of water near the A.C.T. I like to alternate my flights over Lake George between the wind farms on the eastern shore and the following the base of the ridge on the western shore. George V was monarch of the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth until 1936.
NOTAM: Canberra airport elevation is 1,869 ft so cruise at 3,000 ft above sea level.
