The Shell Road Maps have better detail on them than the crappy WACs etc anyway.
I had a station in the Upper Gascoyne during the late 1970s.

Homestead buzzed by C182 one afternoon so went out to airstrip and brought back 4 visitors, who were with the AIM and doing some pastoral care visits.

Having a cup o tea with them and the Reverend pilot kept addressing me by the wrong name. When I corrected him, he said: "Isn't this Dalgety Downs?"

When I told him DD was about 70 miles to the south, he got out a very worn 1956 Shell roadmap....!

In God we trust?
