What? If there are no landmarks they could use, then they wouldn't do it.
Alice tower: "(VFR) ABC remain west of the Stuart Highway, descend to 3500".
In any case, you are hot on evidence-based allocation of alphabet airspace, exactly how many times has this Albury scenario occurred?
And another thing. In C, the VFR wouldn't get a clearance across the IFR's track. So let's put in E. But wait, nothing has actually changed. There is still a VFR and an IFR crossing paths. Both aircraft are in the same piece of sky, but now, apart from the TCAS and perhaps the VFR might be listening to the sparse "position reports" from the IFR to Centre or the tower, neither aircraft will know about each other. See and Avoid? Good luck with that.
Rediculous.
