Came across this on Youtube. Lake Boga fly in 2012. A few Seareys flying around down under. Anyone we know? I especially like the quiet exhaust at the 1:00 mark.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=9HA4CMyXzEE&feature=endscreen">http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=9HA4CMyXzEE&feature=ends<br>creen</a><br /><br /><br />

Hi Paul, yes I remember it well, it was a fantastic weekend. <br />In World War II the lake was a secret location for the <br />servicing of Australia's flying boat fleet. It was regarded <br />as a safe from enemy bombers due to its remote location. <br />In 2009 Lake Boga was completely dry, due to drought. And <br />now to due to flood it’s overflowing. (Australia a land of <br />drought and flooding rains) that’s from a Pome by Dorothea <br />Mackellar. I’m in the SeaRey VH-XWW. I will Post Photos <br />from the weekend.

Lake Boga is a very important Oz WW11 icon.<br />It is a reasonably sized inland lake, circular in shape to make it 'all weather/all winds' flying boat base.<br />There are far better qualified people to talk about it, but briefly, it was chosen for a large contingent of our 'Black Cats' during the war as it was 'unknown' to the enemy, far from our settled coastal strips and an unexpected location for security reasons.<br />I will look up and post further info, however I'm sure several Oz identities will expound on some of the history.<br />some of our SeaRey owners were directly associated with the 'Black Cats'
