Safety notes
  • Australia paraglider flying site imported from the Australian National Site Guide open-site KMZ (v867) on 2026-07-07. Type: Inland mountain. Rating: PG5, PG4 under FI/SSO supervision. Unsuitable for Hang gliders.. Mt Buffalo is a large granite mountain. Reed’s lookout PG launch comprises a series of large (3-4m) boulders with a surface slope of around 35-40deg off level and deep fissures between the boulders. The surface is of ‘sharp’ granite which is helpfully non-slip but can grab lines and cause wing damage if movement against the rock face is excessive. Several options for launch are available: the conditions will indicate the optimum. The drop-off in front of the boulders is sheer where it is not closed by low trees thus there is no room for error. The site is rated PG5. PG4 may only launch under FI/SSO supervision. Visitors are strongly advised to seek local knowledge before attem.
