Ballidu Gravel race sponsor, Dunn Aviation, has been crop dusting, spraying and aerial fire fighting from the skies above the Shire of Wongan-Ballidu and greater Wheatbelt for 60 years.
In fact the firm’s fleet has grown to 20 planes with contracts extending as far as Europe, where it helps Greece’s fire fighting efforts in the northern Summer, but its roots remain in the Shire where it is an ever-present community pillar.
“If you get a bad reputation in the Wheatbelt you get run out of town pretty quickly,” owner Neville Dunn quipped to WestCycle.
“Events like Bike it to Ballidu Gravel are great for our towns and we’re glad to support them. It’s great to see city people get into the bush, and see all the kids running around and on their bikes!”
To all competitors in the Dunn Aviation 82km and 155km races – and all our fondo riders – we wish you all a flyer!
