Hi Andrew, Turbulence from westerly winds is quite common descending over the Blue Mountains back down to the Sydney plain. The wind rolls over (curls) as the mountains drop away, creating quite turbulent conditions at times. On Wednesday there was some good buffeting, and the occasional seat dropping out from below. As soon as you reach the Nepean River everything goes calm again, and the wind back at Bankstown was light and variable.
