Insurance policies for more complex aircraft usually have a minimum hours and training clause so the owner would not be covered if he rented it out to someone with less.
Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

You're more likely to get a PA28 or C172 from a flying school, maybe even where you learnt.
Yeah, my flight school is an option. But i think they would want the plane back ASAP. Where a private owner may be happy if i spend a few days with family not flying, before returning.

Having said that, as you are planning Brisbane to Port Pirie, why not post this in the Pacific GA forum?
Thanks for the suggestion. Im not familiar with the this forum yet. At this stage im just researching which plane would be best/cost efficient for the trip.

As for the trip, why go back the same way?
Haha well, the way back is going to be a freight run. from YPIR to YSDU (bringing something back from one family member, to the other). But i like your suggestion for the rest of the trip back from YSDU to YBAF, cut across to Coffs Harbour then up to Goldy then Brisbane. Thanks
