GPS Waypoints.
If the Port Augusta restricted areas are active just follow the eastern shore of the gulf to Pt Pirie and you can't go wrong. Unless they've enlarged them in the last 17 years or so.

...........sure "I wonder" "Jabawocky" it's just a personal opinion here, besides the newcomers into our buisness are now exposed to GPS from almost day one esspecially when it comes to the new Multi Crew License that's now being pushed thru for future airline drivers. This makes for map reading to be second to the electronic world. But that's fine if used sensibly in conjunction with other traditional methods. Yr other points about accuracy are valid & any thoroughly thinking pilot (hmmmmmm is there such a beast?) will allow for such inaccuracies:-)

It sounds like the flight in question has already taken place. But I'll add that use of Flight Following if you're worried about CTA / RA's is always a big help. They should let you know of RA activation and be able to advise away around them if active. Plus you get the added advantage of on-going traffic information.

You are quite correct, however that is only available in RADAR coverage.
Not sure what you mean about the flight occuring, lots of flights have occurred and none have actually breached Restricted airspace, (so far from radar in fact the transponder got lonely
) but the point has been made where it could do, and the original thread was started about someone avoiding it.
But with the ever increasing workload of Flightwatch activities for ATC's the chances of Flight Following being available is quite likely to be reduced.
