I wonder how many plans that were purchased never end up as a completed aircraft??
I have two sets of unused plans myself, 701 and Affordaplane. No way I'll build either and no way I'll pass the plans on.

Sunset 21 June 2021, shortest day of the year, as seen from the Sunset Tavern, Karumba N Qld.
Great place to be this time of year.

JG, is there anyway you can combine the old fuel map with this one, then all the fuel stops and pubs are in one place 😉
Have a look at the new map now. Much more useful this way I think.....

I've had a look thro the old map and most is already duplicated and updated on the new one. I'll go right thro the old map and add any info that's not already on the new one.
I'll also mark airfields with a different colour where fuel is an easy? carry of a jerrycan.

JG3: Dunmarra Roadhouse south of Daly Waters in the NT has a strip behind the roadhouse with bowsers, food and accommodation (camping and motel units).
The owner flies a Murphy Rebel, at least did when I was there in 2018.
Also Sandfire Roadhouse on the 90 mile beach in WA. Strip is behind the roadhouse. it's a fair walk with jerrycans, but you can taxy up near to the bowsers along a track if you ask the staff.
I got bogged on the way back.
Don't know how I mussed Dunmarra, I've fueled there a couple of times. On the map now.
Sandfire also now on the map.

Leongatha no longer supplies mogas on field.

I've now updated that map with the new suggestions and highlighted the airfields with PULP on field by orange markers to make it easier to find them.
Check to see if I've missed anything.
Sure would be good to make this map easier to access.
OZRunways did ask for a copy and I sent it to them but don't see it used...
That would be the best site for a link to be displayed for easy access when you would most need it.

Are you saying that isn't available to visiting aircraft?? It sure would be good to have that facility to top up before heading across to Tassie....
Is that mogas PULP at Yarram or avgas??

Yes I know it was easier to organise the Normandy Landings, then get an airfield fuel installation approved and installed. Which is the world we live in today sadly. We’ve just had one installed in Yarram, with a large chopper pad right next to it, but I’m not convinced the fuel hose will reach a helicopter like an A139, parked at centre pad.....I just find it a pity it can’t be used by the majority of aircraft hangared at the field. But, it’s still good to have at the end of the day.

Mogas is also available through Wimmera Aero Club at Horsham, need to ring in advance though.
It's now on the map. Phone number??

Also you can post any new info on OZRunways ‘Public Notes’

There is also this one, needs updating though as I know both Tyabb and Lethbridge have Mogas, but aren't listed.
Yes that one is very out of date. I made that one many many years ago in the days of REAL ultralights....

Good one. Lethbridge is listed in ERSA but Tyabb not.
This list is growing, please keep it up!

In the absence of MoGas/ULP actually on the airfield, it would be useful to have information about the closest public service stations eg Armidale NSW, Caltex , New England Hwy, 25 m (that metres from the airfield security gate, easy walking distance even for the oldest pilot))
That's covered in this map that I made many years ago. Not up to date but still valid mostly. I welcome any updates.
That's in stolspeed.com if that above link doesn't work....

<Any aerodrome that has a website would tell you what fuel is available there currently.. You'd normally check that before going there>
Of course I already know that, having landed at more than one hundred airfields in my flying travels over 30 years.
I just want a list of airfields that do provide mogas to aid in my flight planning.
I note that neither Goolwa nor Serpentine are noted in ERSA that they do have mogas available.
I understand that ERSA often takes ages to update, so I seek a more current list.
I also note that Leogatha is not listed in ERSA as providing mogas, even tho I have fueled with mogas there a couple of times in years past. I understand that it's provided by the local flying school as a private service so not publicized, but it sure would be handy to know that availability.
The only airfield that I know of with mogas that is listed so in ERSA is Gympie.
I realize that it's very difficult to arrange mogas on airfields, not least because distributors panic at the mention of aviation using mogas in aircraft..... We all use it constantly for good reason in Rotax aircraft, obtained from ordinary auto service stations. I now have more than 3000hrs running on it and never a hint of problem.
I've also used a lot of avgas when necessary, and have been plagued by lead fouling in the past. Every time I return home from a long trip having used avgas I drain the oil while it's still hot, hoping to get rid of some of the lead before it settles in the gearbox..... The LL in 100LL doesn't mean 'low lead' it really means 'LOTTA LEAD'.
If I have a list of airfields that do provide mogas I will go out of my way to fuel there to increase their throughput.

Has anyone compiled a list of airfields that now supply unleaded fuel on site??
I only know of Goolwa, Gympie, and possibly Leongatha......
Any others that fliers know about??

Try WD40, that works for doubles-sided tape residue.
