Hi Andy I thought the king island track would apply elsewhere, I have flown it once , but you are right if I had a choice I would rather crash in the desert than become shark bait Greg

I am pretty sure we are allowed to cross direct to Tassie now via King Island which was brought in the same time we could climb to 10,000ft so I think the water crossing is OK but I could be wrong, although Ricks track does look safer Greg

Hi Rick Looks good but I would have gone Goolwa then direct to Nullarbor but you are right it would be a bit longer Greg

Got OZ runways so I print the relevant pages off the WAC looking at google earth there doesn't appear to be much difference between Renmark and Goolwa , Murry Bridge is pretty close to the track but puts me over Adelaide CTR Greg

That's all very good info , thanks Rick I was thinking first stop Goolwa for fuel then Ceduna ,even though stuck with avgas, overnight at the Nullarbor roadhouse , got a low wing so I can't fit between gate posts I do have a fold up jerry haven't figured out how to use it without lots of spilt fuel , next best bet sounds like Cocklebiddy or Balladonia I have a range of about 400 nm no wind plus a bit of reserve, does this plan sound OK Greg

Thanks for all the help I thought there was a roadhouse on the way I could drag my plane to the bowsers for fuel or close enough to ferry using jerry's Thanks beefy I may take you up on that offer

Just looked at Eucla strip can you taxi to the roadhouse for fuel ?

Thanks Phil .That info should get me there and back

Once I get there and hire a car I will stay a couple of days just checking out local engineering businesses connected with farming but I need to stop for the night on the way over Plane is dragged along with a 914 with a intercooler fitted so it will run on just about anything although it doesn't like avgas sometimes Greg

Thanks for all the help, Murrayfield looks like the best bet Where would be the best place to stop for the night I can't make it in one day . Greg

Thinking of flying to somewhere near Perth , so I need a uncontrolled strip where I can hire a car, leaving from Echuca , has anyone done this trip and can tell me the best track for fuel stops , have about 3 hr endurance at approx. 120knts , any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rhtrudder
