Progressive taxi

Others may have different experiences, but I haven't had good luck requesting "progressive taxi instructions" from ground controllers at Aussie airports.

What I want is, "Follow Alpha to right on Echo and the GA area will be on your left," or something like that.

A number of times, I've heard something like, "The GA area is over past the fuel bowser." Which I guess I could decode if I were to study a taxiway chart, but it's not the most efficient way to get me there, or even much faster to say.

Archerfield Tower is a prime offender, in my experience.
