A low approach convinced me to continueon to Ceduna for fuel enroute to our next overnight, Streaky Bay. Two nightsthere were enough to see the local sights. Then off to Flinders Range, a uniquelandscape that looks like a meteor crater or a volcano but in fact is neither. Themountains there are about 4,000 feet high, the highest we encountered. We sawmany, many wild kangaroos and enjoyed our stay.Then we said goodbye to our new friends of the <strong>ABS</strong> and went on our wayto Kangaroo Island, where we spent three nights at a very delightful Bed& Breakfast with its own dual runways. They rented us a car for $50 a dayand we thoroughly toured the island, enjoying hand-feeding kangaroos andPam feeding kangaroos.Structural, Landing Gear, FlightControl, Accessories, <strong>In</strong>struments,Kits, Hardware, <strong>In</strong>terior Parts, Etc.,etc. Since <strong>19</strong>69, your best sourcefor affordable genuine replacementparts; call the Beech Specialists…701 Del Norte Blvd., Unit 220Oxnard, California 93030(805) 604-0439/FAX (805) 604-0429www.arrellaircraft.come-mail: BeechedOut@aol.com(Minutes from Camarillo & Oxnard Airport)64 AMERICAN BONANZA SOCIETY FEBRUARY 2013

We thank all the members of the Australian Bonanza Society who couldnot have been more friendly and helpful, and we hope to see some – if not allof them – in the USA joining some <strong>American</strong> trips.Upgrade to M20Performance!Have a BonanzaBut Still <strong>Fly</strong>2 Quarts Low?Do You AddMore Than 1 QuartBetween OilChanges?INSTALL ANM20 SEPARATOR!With M20’sExclusive Blow-By Control,Dipsticks Test “Full”…Flight after Flight!M20 ProductsAir/Oil Separators1-866-620-2667Details on www.m20products.comE-mail m20products@gmail.comVolume 13 • Number 2 AMERICAN BONANZA SOCIETY 65
