Don't forget to buy a "phone away card" so you can talk to a real briefing officer if you need some clarity with the forecast. NAIPS is good but sometimes a good yarn with a human can shed light on an otherwise blurry forecast. Have found them very helpful at times.
Hope you enjoy Aus and all it has to offer. I plan to do the same one day.

Has anyone said Satphone? Depending how remote you're going, they can come in quite handy for nominating and cancelling SAR times.

Last year I did a stack of ops in the WA desert, and found the Satphone we hired was indespensible. The guys I hired it from mailed it to me, and I mailed it back when we got back. Feel free to PM if you need a lead on where to get one.

:ok:

to collect your weather briefings along the way, get a smart phone (iPhone or Android) or iPad connected to Telstra Next G (terrible service but coverage in amazing places) and you'll always be connected.

If you use an iPhone, get the NAIPS app, it really is an excellent way to spend A$10.

I know for a fact GWAS has an iPhone. The NAIPS app is invaluable. :ok:
