Founded in 1940, we offer a welcoming community, modern fleet, expert instructors, and a commitment to safety. Welcome to the Southern Cross Gliding Club (SCGC), the premier gliding club in Sydney and the largest in NSW! Located in Camden, just a scenic 45-minute drive from the city, we invite you to experience the thrill and freedom of gliding. Since our founding in 1940, we have proudly upheld a rich legacy as one of Australia’s oldest gliding clubs while continuously advancing the sport. At SCGC, gliding is more than a hobby; it’s a vibrant community where adventure and friendship come together. We are committed to providing a safe flying environment, featuring a well-maintained fleet of modern gliders and adhering to the highest safety standards. As a proud member of the Gliding Federation of Australia, we ensure our operations reflect the best practices in the industry. We are excited to share that we have a new clubhouse, creating a welcoming space for our members to gather and connect. SCGC operates as a non-profit organization, with all members volunteering their time and skills, ensuring that flying remains affordable for everyone. We celebrate our diverse membership, which includes individuals of all ages, genders, and nationalities, as well as those from various walks of life—professionals, commercial pilots, lawyers, blue-collar workers, and everyone in between. We are an inclusive club that welcomes anyone with a passion for aviation, making it easy for you to feel right at home. Join us any day of the week—Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday—for exhilarating flying experiences and engaging social events. Many of our members regularly participate in training camps and competitions, honing their skills and embracing the thrill of friendly competition. We support and encourage one another, creating a close-knit community where everyone can enjoy the journey of learning and flying together.
