If a single has engine problems, there are few areas enroute for a float landing.
SETPs are generally known to have fairly high reliability, but if they can land their floatie safely on something as tiny as LB-G I'm sure they'd have no trouble putting it down safely in someone's nice, soft, paddock.

It's quite likely Sydney Seaplanes would use their electric floatplanes on this route if they can. If so, it'll be interesting to see how that goes (sneaking up on unsuspecting dinghy sailors!).
