It appears that satelite coverage is not too good right now over the CSR, with the latest report from Wayne lasting about 45 seconds...
Most important piece of information gained was there is currently NO DIESEL at Billiluna. They will not be getting another delivery for about a week, their previous delivery going to
Halls Creek.
So if you are travelling out that way soon, be aware.
The had to limp a further 100km to Balgo but made it safely.
Price of fuel at Rabbit Flat? $2.65 per litre
For those who asked, the two vehicles whose fuel
tank brackets broke were a Mazda BT50 and a Ford
Ranger (which are apparently identical vehicles???)
That's where the line dropped out...

Ok, Footloose,
I understand it is a Globalstar.
They're finally at the edge of the bitumen at Kilmouth and will make the push to Alice tomorrow.
CSR Sucessfully conquered...

Thank you. Being Globalstar, I'm surprised that you heard from them at all ! It's lucky that he also carries a
HF radio. The main thing is that all are safe and sound. Pity about the wet T shirt thing...all those sweaty blokes with wet T shirts LOL
