ROTFLMAO have to echo Stressfrees' remark, although it would be a close race with the Italians.

But getting back to the main game, in GA in Oz it's less about aids than the lack of them and environment.

Landing on a PAL airport/flarepath in the desert out the back of nowhere, without ILS/PAPI/VASI approach guidance on a moonless night under 9/8s cloud without ANY other civilisation (ie lights for some sort of a horizon, although in and of itself equally hazardous)in ANY direction, often without an airport aid of any sort. Back to basics then I can tell you. Pucker factor way up there.
We talk about "the inside of a cow on a dark night"
