Not sure if you have received any pm re the above thread but here is some info.
Not too sure of the current scene in Darwin but there used to be a pilots watering hole called the 'institute'i think it is near the flying school(s).

There is an aeroclub in Alice so that would be a good starting point there.

Kununurra,once again not sure but they have an active scene due,in part, the bungles also don't forget Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing,and Broome and Derby while i am at it.

Karatha KFS not sure there.
Kalgoorlie should still be okay due the gold mining(prices of gold still high),the operator there is GAS .

Do not underestimate the distances involved,not sure if u have wheels or not but consider a small tent and camp at van parks otherwise there is the trusty old backpackers.

Try and ring a couple of the operators and you may get a feel for what lies ahead.

I realise i have not given you a whole lot but have mentioned a couple of places that you may not have considered.
