Gday,
I'm willing to go to the location to pick the aircraft up. I live in Canberra so driving to Melbourne or Syndey isn't too much of a problem if the deal is good enough. I'm looking for an hourly rate of about $150 including fuel, and will do about 50 to 70 hours in the space of a month. I'm not sure whether one is willing to hire out a retract/csu single for that rate, but I'm willing to take something like a 172 or a Cherokee. I'm planning on doing this trip in March. Hope this narrows it down.
Cheers
