Eyrie,

To piggy back on AOTW's comments; ring Oakey ATC and ask. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Given the proximity of YBWW to TW, OK and AMB I reckon it's going to be an a**-pain for everyone when it comes to sequencing aircraft (and I'll assume they're going to be primarily heavies) into and out of YBWW.
As to your 'off the wall theory', I wouldn't lose sleep over it. The cost of establishing the required infrastructure to support any meaningful numbers of ADF aircraft is enormous. Given the budgetary restraints being imposed these days I really can't see it happening any time soon. The ADF just has to make do with the bases it already has.
The automatic response of most Australians to most problems is to call for the government to do something about it.
Aint that the truth!! I think 'the gummint should fix it' is a line in our national anthem!
