I'm sure all your concerns will disappear once you get out and start flying again.:thumb_up: If you're in Sydney maybe you could try The Oaks. Give Dave a Call at Dave's Flying School he is very helpful and could probably be the mentor/ instructor you're looking for. I can find his number if you need it.

Not strictly about timber props. But for any variable pitch props, it's supposed to keep the water out of the seals.

Hi Relfy, I stopped at Tibboburra when I did my interior trip, which I think was as close as I got to Cameron Corner. (Sounds like a good bike trip with a couple of mates though) This time I'm thinking of staying more coastal, except for a few shortcuts eg. I may have to chop off a bit of FNQ. I only have about 4hrs endurance and plan on about 120TAS. Maybe Cairns or Townsville before I turn left?? I haven't started planning in earnest yet ( Next week when I get some time off work ) But the biggest hole in my plans at the moment are FNQ and WA. G'day Trike, Do you know if there much to see from Port Headland to Perth coastal or would via Meekatharra be more interesting?

Hey Qwerty, thanks for the reply. I must admit I hadn't thought of including the Apple Isle in my adventure. I think it's a great idea though, I've never crossed the straight before (in a small plane anyway!). I don't know if you can tell on such a small picture, but my Avitar pic is of the old bird when I took her to Arkaroola earlier this year. Did you have a look through their telescopes?

Hi Folks, First time forum user, and thought this might be a good place to chat to some people before planning my next big flying trip. I'm planning on leaving YSCN around April/May in a 182, to do a lap of this Big Brown Land. I'm thinking of heading north, keeping Australia on the left and getting Back to YSCN a few weeks later. Any thoughts on places to stop on the way, places for fuel etc. would be greatly appreciated. I suppose the first step will be finding the appropriate forum in which to pose these questions.
