The radar field is accesable but you will most likely be told to leave. I have been there a few times lately and one time I was ok there, and another time, told off pretty much streight away. Its a pretty secluded spot so probably take a friend too.
Different fields there Tim. The VOR field has been off limits for years but used to give close access to the intersection of Twy Charlie and Rwy 07/25.
The radar field is still a construction zone and will be for some time. I do not recommend going in there for a number of reasons despite what others may say or do here (you're generally either going in past locked gates or through leased compounds...either way it is trespassing). There is also the issue of snakes and funnel web spiders which we do see on occasion running around on the runway and taxiways in that sandy south east sector.
