Back to something of the original thread, a couple of years ago I delivered a Cutlass from Melbourne to Perth for a friend. My route took me to Whyalla then Ceduna overnight. The next morning I flew to Caiguna, Esperance and then Jandakot. It was one of the best flights I have ever done . . . I had a real sense of achievement and enjoyed some of the most interesting scenery in Australia. Ceduna is in a beautiful spot, the cliffs along the Great Australian Bight are something to behold and the water and beaches around Esperance are simply stunning.
And everyone I met along the way was super helpful . . . good luck in getting the aircraft sorted out.
Cheers
