Gary Junction Road - Fuel

That 'phone # should be 08, not 80.

Hi Peter, thanks for that info. I will ring them and confirm that fuel is still available. Cheers

Hi Peter,
NO CREDIT CARDS ..... Does this also mean no DEBIT CARDS?

No credit cards but will allow esfos or what ever it is you use money you have not the money they give you. Not sur about DEBIT CARDS

that way the people can't Max out on credit.

Hi Richard,
It makes us all wonder why there are such great variations in fuel prices. As you would agree, Kintore is fairly remote and a long way from their major fuel supplier.
I rang Tjukayirla Roadhouse today for a diesel price update and it is still $1.90 per litre. The chap said further up, it was $2.05 and $2.10 per litre. I would assume he is referring to Warburton and Warakurna.

We only paid $2.00 last year at Kintore when we were all paying through the nose for fuel. What were the prices like in the Great Central like when you were there recently.

Cheers

Tjukayirla = $1.90 / l
Warakurna = $2.00 / l
Laverton = $1.36.9 / l

Kunawarritji = $3.20 / l The Fuel has to come from Port Hedlard by road train Puna and them only (long haul)

Cheers

Richard

Payed $2.20 / l at Forrest last year it was only 2 cents more then Caiguna and I needed 218.4 L...

Hi Richard
Thanks for those price updates.

Cheers

G'day Richard,

How long did it take to travel this road.

We left Kunawarritji after refueling around 2.00 pm WA time camped over night before Jupiter well (could not make it) and got into Kintore at 4.30 PM the next day for fuel NT time left camp at 7.30 - 8.00 am stoped to look at things and take photos.

We called into Kiwirrkurra for fuel but they were closed open at 2.30pm we had enouth and had a look at Lens Truck.

It's a good outback road like most of the roads in SA's outback, we made up 2 days on our trip.

Cheers

Richard

If some of these time don't add up... I'm at work and only using my own Brain... LOL

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your Followup on this thread re fuel prices/road conditions/camping. We will be heading across the GJR from Alice mid July. I was planning on camping west of Mount Liebig at the earth tank/Jupiter Well/Kunawarritji - 3 days travel. Do you think this time frame is OK - we are in no hurry. If you can suggest any other campsites that we could consider, could you send the Lat/Long to me.
Where is Mt Leisler?
Many thanks, Robyn

Robyn

Where is Mt Leisler? South of Kintore

Hi Richard

I will send you a message in a day or two to ask about your trip. We have just arrived at son's at Wickham.

On checking my emails tonight, my friends "The Wattos" went from Warakurna through the Sandy Blight road to the Gary Junction, then to Alice via Haasts Bluff. The Sandy Blight was a slow trip with the Phoenix.
