PS: and watch out for the restricted areas around Cober Pedy/Lake Eyre - Jaba nearly got me in the poo with those!
Not quite how it happened if I recall..........but GWAS Forkie is right watch the woomera areas especially at the moment with Super Hornet games going on. And if in doubt check with Jaba as he was the one who saved FTDK's ass from wanting to go Willie CK DCT.

And here is a cut and paste from a friends message this evening, I am sure in the interests of GA safety he will not mind me posting part of the email.
Had an unknown VFR plow through R564B (singleton firing range) this morning & came within a nats hair of getting hit by a (live)missile from an F18. Im not sure he even saw it (the Hornet or the missile).
I know its gonna happen one-day, but Im at a loss as to how to stop it happening, the aircraft wasnt listening on the area frequency (or just ignored the broadcast safety alert)
Alternatively you could just take me along........
