I reckon that you have chosen wisely as far as refuelling is concerned. YGTH, YMIA and YPIR are all 24 hour self serve. (We refuelled at YPIR on June 10th 2016 and know that the bowser there then worked!)
Our last trip to Ceduna involved making sure that the Avgas retailer turned up. To my knowledge, there is no self serve there. So please check that.
I agree with what 'RatsoreA' wrote about YFRT. I reckon that overnighting there is one of the best experiences that one can have.
Pack warm clothing as 'On eyre' suggests. It gets very cold inland at night.
May you have a safe, fun trip. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks. taken note about Ceduna.
Got to watch our W&B carefully as I won't want to be unable to take on full fuel. Full fuel makes calculation so much easier during refueling. How much you put in indicates how much you've used.
Amiri01, will watch for your beloved dingos, trying not to have to bbq any of them, although the prop should provide a good cut.
Gerry111, so what are the ALAs like typically along the railway line? easy to spot?
On eyre, we should have a BP carnet, so hopefully the self serve is available.
Capn Bloggs, was expecting oompa loompas when i went to Orange previously, but nope, was a tad disappointed.
