Bacchus Marsh Airfield

Bacchus Marsh Airfield (ICAO: YBSS) is located 3.5 nautical miles (6.5 km; 4.0 mi) south of Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, Australia.

The airfield is owned by the Shire of Moorabool, but is operated by the Bacchus Marsh Airfield Management (BMAM). BMAM comprises representatives of the shire, the three resident gliding clubs (the Geelong Gliding Club, Victorian Motorless Flight Group and the Beaufort Gliding Club), and the Tarago Valley School of Aviation (a power flying school).

The airfield with an elevation of 520 ft (158 m) above sea level, consists of two sealed cross strips with wide grass verges on either side (alignments 01/19 1,554 m (5,098 ft), and 09/27 1,524 m (5,000 ft)). The gliding clubs conduct a combined operation launching from the grass verges while the power school operates concurrently from the sealed strips
