The range runs parallel to the east cost of Australia, from Cape York in the North to Western Victoria in the south. The ranges are home to some amazing species of animals and plants. The Wollemi Pine, recently found growing in a gorge of the Blue Mountains, is a living dinosaur of the plant world. Twenty-three of the 35 known species of the carab beetle live on just one mountain top in northern Queensland, at the top of the Great Dividing Range.

The OZx family takes great delight in presenting the OZx Freeware Pack Version 1.0. Within this package we feature the work of many of Australia’s finest developers. Joining our family are some extremely talented newcomers, offering new insight and unique perspectives to the challenges of scenery design.
OZx Freeware is a collection of over 130 texture matched airstrips and various other photo scenery objects that have been designed to blend seamlessly with the FTX_AU scenery series. The majority of strips you will find in this package are small airfields designed for general aviation (GA) flight. Some are farm strips – sharing a paddock with crops; some are mining strips – designed for twin engine turboprop fly-in, fly-out operations; some are small strips servicing rural communities or tourism operations.
It is a truism that our flight sim hobby caters for many tastes. I like the simplicity of single engine, low and scenic. For me, it is the environment that counts; I like to see the rolling hills, patchworked pastures and tree-filled valleys passing under the nose of my aircraft. If you’re like me you will enjoy the challenge of navigating to an airstrip not serviced by navigation aids and the thrill of landing on rough and remote airstrips. No doubt your pulse will start to race when you attempt to land on these bumpy, unflattened strips, dodging the fences, the cattle, the ‘roos and the powerlines! Now this is what bush flying is all about.
