The Perth
Advanced Rocketry Club exists to serve
the needs of all model rocket flyers in Western Australia. We aim to
promote a fun, safe and educational environment for all West Australians
interested in flying model rockets. The main launch site is located
in Toodyay with CASA permission to 6000ft and we also have a launch
site located just outside of Albany with CASA permission to 3000ft.
Forget RC planes, cars, trains and kites.
If you are you looking for a REAL hobby, one that's more than a little
different, and you like mind blowing speed and the roar of rocket engines,
then you should seriously consider model rocketry as a hobby. Nothing
compares to launching a big rocket to a few thousand feet. You'll be
the talk of your friends and coworkers alike. And the whole family
can and often do enjoy rocketry togeather. How many hobbies can make
that boast?
If you've never seen a real rocket fly (we're not talking about small
Estes model rockets (but we fly them too)) you just have to come down
to the next launch! You'll be blown away! We hope to see you there!
Model rocketry has been around since the
late 1950's (see the movie 'October Sky') and there has been an estimated
600+ million flights since this time with no serious incidents. Rocketry
is very popular in the USA and parts of Europe but it's almost unheard
of here in Australia. The Perth
Advanced Rocket Club is in it's 10th year
and we look forward to many more years of safe, fun advanced rocketry
and we'd like YOU to be a part of it! So come on down to the next launch
(see Launch Dates page for dates and a map).
All Memberships include $20,000,000 liability insurance
cover. 10% discount off all Estes, Quest and Aerotech products at Stanbridges
Hobby Store, use of club equipment, mail outs, news letters, site shed
and access to fly at all ARA launch sites across Australia. Be sure
to download the new membership form from the downloads page.
