Club History
The Gliding Club of Western Australia (GCWA) is based on the Cunderdin airfield in the heart of the wheatbelt region of WA, an easy two hours drive East from Perth. The Club was established in 1944 at the former Caversham Airfield (now part of Whiteman Park) and moved to its current home in Cunderdin in 1959. 2024 marked our 80th year making us by far the longest established Gliding Club in WA and one of the oldest in the country.
GCWA has grown over the years to be a close-knit club with a strong emphasis on cross-country flying and maintaining a strong social atmosphere amongst great friends. For young and old alike – and for all genders – gliding is truly a sport for anyone. In association with Soarability arrangements can be made to cater for the special needs of the disabled as well.

I have enjoyed a number of Joy flights and social events at this active gliding club over the years. My husband instructs here it’s a great place to learn to fly!
Many people don’t realise their solo gliding hours count towards a PPL ! So much fun and affordable for those who love flying.
