Hi there, I'm writing on behalf of campsite neighbours wondering if anyone is passing through Alice tomoz morn and travelling to Camoweal. If so $ reward offered if you can bring a couple of fanbelts and a tensioner to the Camoweal pub. ????

It is a shame he can't get the parts in Isa, as Cammoweal would have deliveries at least twice a week.
The council guys there would have contacts in Isa ,
Alice is a very long way to bring parts,
sorry I can't be of more help

They probably have the parts located already. Just need the transport.

Surely there would be express trucks (Toll Express etc) running Daily from Brisy to Isa and perhaps onto Darwin, maybe even air cargo if there are flights
I got some parts from Ballina in nothern NSW to Bamaga (tip of Cape York) within 36 hours a few years ago (air cargo cost more than the parts, but it was worth it)

Thanks Mark and Bob. My campsite neighbours used the Alice Springs community f - book page and found someone driving from Alice to Camoweal ....in the next 48 hrs they'll have the parts.
Cheers for your ideas. James

Good to see end result and someone came through. I thought the question was anyone travelling from ASP to Cammoweal and every response had nothing to do with the actual question.

And good onya OP for helping out a fellow traveller.

Maybe not sticking to original question (like 90% of replies on any forum) but all were only trying to assist with other ideas...this is why forums exist.
