I can help. I need to leave by 9.30 though so best if we start early again.

Edit: checked out the field 10am this morning when travelling through. The council has been and cut a stripe through the long grass. The large areas under the power lines over the creek have been cut. No issues with the runways. Looks like they had the cutters down when they drove toward the heli practice area then back of the fence line near Grace removals. All ok. Someone else looks like they have done some mowing during the week as well. We need to thank whoever that was as the cross strip is in great shape and nicely mowed. It appears that elves tried on the main strip but could only do where the ground was firm. The pit area needs a small trim but it would be no issue if nothing was done. It is fine also.
It would be good to mow some more on the main strip to make it like the other areas. It is not hugely overgrown at all. I reckon one or two mowers only and would take 30-45 minutes max. I have photos but will put in field condition report.
