You better recheck your diary.
I think the Qld National Party have already had their Broome mini holiday meeting.
Maybe you had already sent your proxies in!

I remember doing a 3-day charter in YHOO!

I've never been so freaking bored in my entire life!!!!!!!


on the upside, from memory, they have a little corolla cut in half to tow aeroplanes around.

The half car thingy is still there.
Yes, that particular NOTAM is well remembered.
Told a crew member new to HOO that the dishes LHS of the approach to 10 were part of the Pine Gap space base deal. She was busy taking photoes to take back home to NZ and very impressed that Hoo had something to offer.
Personally I think the dog breading program they are undertaking there is going very well.

Fuel is no probs but take note of the advice by those above re early arrangements and payment.

Puel at Hlls Creek

Fuel is no problem at Halls Creek so long as you have a BP card.

There's nothing like a trip to beautiful sunny downtown HLC to make your trip memorable!!! The best part of HLC is the fact that the pub is only 2 minutes walk from the airstrip and is located WITHIN the 8ft high fence which completely encircles HLC airport. A nice touch really...... now you can walk to your hotel room without having someone say "hey.... paaalot. u gotta shmoke?"

HLC isn't a bad place to stop for lunch..... the pub serves pretty good food in the sports bar (which I believe is open from 10am) and it's literally spitting didtance from your plane.

Halls & Wolf Creek

Yeah Hells Crack is definitely a convenient lunch stop and when I last stopped in there (a good few years back) the tucker in the sports bar wasn't too bad either.
But if you're going to go via HLC then I recommend you swing via Wolf Creek Crater. Well worth the 57nm diversion south me thinks!
