Dropping in to Paynes Find (Western Australia) in a 172 one day for fuel I tramped over to the adjacent road house for a coffee (no airfield facilities whatsoever - the fuel is in a drum trucked in from the roadhouse).

There was another guy sitting there having coffee with a backpack.

"Any chance of a lift to Perth mate?" he says

"Sorry, just going to Northam" says I.

"That'll do for me" he says.

To say his eyes opened wide when I offered the RHS for the trip was an understatement. He's probably still dining out on the story.
