There is a high pressure system in the Tasman Sea and a trough of low pressure will cross western and central Victoria.  The day is blue but there is a possibility of cu mid afternoon at Benalla!  There will be cu over the mountains and to the north-east.  Max temp is expected to be 37 degrees.  Lift will be unstable; max height DALR 10,000; average lift 7 - 9kts, max 12+.  Start 1100 hrs, cut off at Benalla late.                  

 

Graham Garlick launched around1100 hrs and was going through 5,000\' at 10 knots, so his prediction of a good day seems correct.  First competition launch midday - Standard, 15m, 18m, Open - all racing tasks.
