Gday,

I live in Canberra so I would be willing to drive out to the location to pick the aircraft up. I'm looking for an hourly rate of about $150 an hour including fuel. I'm guessing $150 an hour wouldn't be getting me a CSU/retract, but I'm willing to go for a 172 or a cherokee, because at the end of the day it's the command hours that count. I plan start the trip in March and fly 70 hours in the space of three to four weeks,

I kin put you into a decent C182 or Archer out of TWB at the right price
Sounds interesting do you have further information?

G'Day
I have an early model C210 that you can have if you can look after it properly.
Sounds interesting, what sort of hourly rate would I be looking at if you don't mind me asking?

ps. resist the urge to use the GPS on those long nav's. Take one by all means and use it to confirm your position from time to time, but dont rely on it. Those DR skills will come in very handy when your buzzing around the remote north and the GPS goes tits-up, or you've got to turn it off due alternator failure.
Thats the plan


Thanks for advice
