We are about to do a tour of the "top". Do any of your readers know of the availability of internet access at caravan parks over the top, for email, banking, etc, or is it adviseable to rely on satellite phone access for downloading data?

G'day,
In WA at any rate, most of the country towns have telecentres, where you can access the internet for very reasonable rates. I'm not sure about other states, or other towns, but
Broome and
Exmouth have telecentres, and I've been using my local one near
perth, and it costs me $1 per 15 minutes internet access. This is way cheaper than sat. phone, and if you have your email set up so you can access it from anywhere, its probably hte best way to go.
Hope this helps. Cheers, Alex.
