How to Find Your Way to the Calvert Observing Site
The location is recognised by two names searchable within Google Maps:
- Calvert Aero Modelling Society
- Gratton Field
If driving from Brisbane, head for Rosewood. Then take the Rosewood Laidley Rd west for 7.6km. Just after the first right-hand curve in the road look for two small bus stop shelters. Immediately after turn left into Calvert Station Road, cross the rail line and creek and immediately turn left into Bourke Rd, West. Proceed 260m to a gate entrance on the right with two white flag poles. Drive down the lane at no more than 20kph and you have arrived. And, don’t forget to bring your $10 to compensate the facilities owner.
