Dubbo Unicom

Does anyone have any experience operating into these airports with the UNICOMs? Most importantly, are the UNICOMs actually giving a worthwhile traffic information service?

I flew into Dubbo on Tuesday evening and to my inbound call got "Dubbo Unicom" - just like an AFRU. Weather information was obtained from VOR frequency. Rex and a Navajo followed me 5 mins later and arranged their own separation. When I departed 30 mins later Unicom had gone home. I saw no value add from Unicom.
