Yesterday afternoon I thought I would visit an airport I have never been to before for spotting and it was Camden Airport.
Camden Airport (IATA: CDU, ICAO: YSCN) is an aerodrome located on the outskirts of Sydney 1.9 klms (2 miles) northwest of Camden. The airport is located approximately 60 klms (37 miles) from Sydney's central business district. Camden is used as a general aviation overflow airport for the busier local Bankstown Airport; and provides facilities for gliding and ballooning. The aerodrome has one grass- and one paved runway and two glider airstrips.
The runways are
06 / 24 is 1,464 metres long (4,803 feet) and is Asphalt
10 / 28 is 723 metres long (2,372 feet) and is Grass
The airport is 70 metres (230 feet) AMSL; Camden operates as an ICAO Class D airport from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm daily and all other times it is a CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) airport.

After looking around I drove to the other side of the airport where the gliders are but there was nothing happing there, on the way back I noticed a Seawind 3000 but couldn't get a good shot of it.
I thought I would throw caution to the wind and I took my chances. I saw a guy in a hanger and I asked who can I talk to to get airside as I want to get a better picture of the Seawind and the Partenavia's. After talking for a few minutes he decided to take me out and we wondered around and up and down the grass apron.
