Hi Guys,
Just trying to spread the word that due to flooding the AVGAS fuel truck hasn't been able to get in from ISA. They are hoping this weekend but with more rain forecast it might not happen. Give the pub a call first before you plan for a BDV fuel stop. Not to sure on how much JET is left.
Cheers,
PA

Was at BDV last week - plenty of beer, a limited supply of JETA1.
Worth a phone call before you head out that way

Thought I'd let people know that Jet and AVGAS will be going up in Birdsville by 50 cents a litre very soon...will be sitting around the $3 a litre mark :ugh: This is due to the cost of getting it there with the recent flooding. There is a chance it may go back down once the roads are all good again but it's a very 'slim' chance. You dont see too many things going 'down' again these days :rolleyes:

I was surprised to find myself paying $1.90/L for Avgas at Aldinga last week - 15 min from Adelaide !!!

Only $1.85 here in hughenden. Diesel is $1.69 here as well.
Birdsville should have reasonable supplies of fuel again, for a while, anyway.

I heard Marree is $2.85 for commercial ops.
