Can anyone advise the costs associated with flying a light aircraft VFR around Aus?

(Just on AVGAS, Air BP have done away with carnets for people like you and me. But they conveniently haven't enabled their bowsers to accept credit cards, unlike Shell. So if you turn up at YBHI, as an example, be prepared to pay for an expensive call out fee for the operator. Plus pay 20c extra per litre. On a recent April trip to YCDU, we needed fuel. A couple of guys in a rather nice Boeing Stearman had already rang for AIR BP AVGAS there. Fortunately, we were able to share the $120 call out fee..)
