Here we are !
Welcome to Wombat Gully, the home of Russell & Robyn Kelly
This site provides a compendium of some of our passions and interests (& quirks!)
And this is our webcam >>>
Aviation is one of Robyn's many interests.
A past Ambulance Community Officer and active in supporting the local community.
And pretty handy with a chainsaw too !
Photography
We are both keen photographers and are always learning. Heaps of aerial photography, our favourite place is the Outback.
Been on a number of 'Master Classes' in the bush to hone our skills and more recently a drone has been added to the family.
The new mission is astrophotography - watch this space!
Books, Books, Books.....
We are both voracious readers and we have now run out of book shelf space. Every available space on walls and above doors is ladden with non-fiction covering a wide range of interests including history, science, philosophy, medicine, geology, astronomy, aviation, music and dogs!
We've even produced a few of our own ....

Weather
Mitta has a great climate with season differences that enhance the natural beauty. Local aboriginals noted five distinct seasons, the 'extra' season between spring and the rather late onset of summer. Rainfall is predominately during spring and annual average rainfall is around 1049mm. Droughts occurred during 1901-1904 ('Federation Drought'), 1906 and 1997-2009. Big floods occured in the Valley in 1885, 1905 and 1906 inundating houses and properties.
Mitta Airport
Mitta International Airport serves Air Ambulance, crop dusting, pilot training and is available for visitors to the Valley.
Permission is required for all operations and pilots should check airstrip details, weather and Conditions of Use.
