Wishi,
Much as it may displease you, I would suggest that, on the basis of probabilities,
"Clearance not available, remain clear of controlled airspace" whether actual or perceived, was a contributing factor.
Who in their right mind would head out over the tiger country, when they could fly down the coast.
Let us hope there is a fair dinkum investigation.
Tootle pip!!
PS: And, by the way, Australian airspace arrangements are every bit as bad as Dick and just about anybody else with experience outside Australia will tell you. I feel sorry for the poor sods working for ASA, most of then know they could easily provide a better service, but they are bound by "the rools".
