You can see from the thermal drift that the wind was pretty much SE all day but flying straight downwind from Bakewell would get you around Toodyay. As it was a weekday Pearce airspace was active until 5pm and the eastern edge runs along the road from Toodyay-Bejording -Bolgart, to just north of Calingiri.
So the plan was to push north X wind and get past Calingiri before running straight downwind
