Due to a fire in the only fuel outlet in Dirranbandi yesterday, locals need to go to St George to get their supplies until other arrangements can be made.

Keep this in mind if you are travelling through this region.

I'll see if I can find out when fuel will be available in Dirran again in the morning.

OK,

I have finally got some good news :))

The underground tanks at the servo are being assessed by BP tomorrow and new bowsers are also being installed to replace the damaged ones.

So by Tuesday at the latest there will be both ULP and Diesel available again in Dirranbandi.
It may even be available by Saturday all going well.

Fuel is also available in Hebel if travelling from the south. I am not sure of the opening times for Hebel though.

Cheers Kev
