Fuel is on everyone’s mind right now - and this is one area where we can help each other.
ExplorOz
Places has been built on real traveller updates for 26 years, especially for remote stops where info is hardest to find.
If you’re passing through a roadhouse, remote region, small town, or aboriginal community take a moment to:
* check the place provided for fuel is current (add/update any changes)
* update the price of fuels b posting a review
* confirm availability
* note anything useful
Every review is date-stamped, so even a quick note helps the next traveller plan with confidence.
It only takes seconds while you’re filling up - but it makes a real difference out bush.

Whilst I was on my last trip about a month ago from Far North Coast NSW to
Streaky Bay in South Australia, I came across about 6
places where the Diesel prices were 40 to 60c cheaper than the majors..at the time Diesel was pushing about $2.80/ltr.
These
places where in the small agricultural towns that were dotted around the
Yorke Peninsula and off the beaten track so to speak, they were in the main streets with the diesel bowser looking pretty worst for ware.
In one place I had to go in and check that the price was right and that the diesel bowser was working as the place was an old agricultural hardware store that looked a bit battered.
I have a social media diesel app, where people can put in the new diesel prices, these couple of
places were not even mentioned, so I left it that way and did nothing, noting, that these small out of the way outlets would be principally for the locals and farmers etc.
That being said, the cheapest diesel at the time in NSW I found was at the BP depot in
Wilcannia...near in the middle of NSW , I couldn't get my head around that one.
