GROG prices Outback,and porta pottie outback,

Sorry, that should be September 12.

Gooday Mrbrush,
can't tell you dump points except Alice (most CP's have them), but suggest you use Odour-B-Gone tabs in your porta potti. As they are biodegradable, if you do need to "unload" out bush, you can dig a hole and safely dump contents. They come in slow and fast acting versions; half a tab in a 15 litre potti works fine.

'...save a few dollars on camping' YET spend $50 + for alcohol !!!!!!!!!!!

Prices in Alice aren't to bad, can't give you an exact figure though. Outside of there you are going to pay a fair bit more.

Can't help with drop points. All the places you are going to have toilets. I know Alice has a drop point as I did an oil change next to it.

Have a good one

Gerday Mrbrush,

Expect to pay between $55 & $70 for a case of your favorite dust remover, obviously more expensive in the out of the way places!

Regards

Jeff

Its not what things are worth in the outback, Its how much they can suck out of you if you want it.

EG newspapers are usually around $4

Getting a tradesman (If U can get one) is horrendous.

Cost me $90 in Kunanurra for a gasfitter to come to the van and tell me the gas was fine.

It wasnt, got worse and have had it fixed in Geraldton .

Camps 4 or 5 has a list of known dump points all around Australia

Has more info for $55 than you will find on a carton of beer LOL

Beer was $60 a carton at Cameron Corner a month ago. Should be indicative of the whole area.

Can't help with the dump point question though - I still prefer a long handled shovel and a deep hole!

Good Luck

Ben

Hi there Mrbrush, I cant help you with the dump point info, but I am an experienced beer drinker, so here's my advise.

First & foremost, ignore your wifes comments about how much you drink. The same goes for what your GP tells you.

Second, regardless of where you buy your favourite grog, the B.....sds will touch you. So get used to it!!

Take it from an old fellah, you just have to make your mind up how much you are prepared to be ripped off. & then you have to weigh that up against how thirsty you are.

Now here is the tricky bit. When travelling & you enter a bottleo at 11.00 am & consider that the thieving B....sds want way to much for a carton you have to forget that it is 11.00 am. You must NOT walk out empty handed!!

You must now focus on happy hour later in the day!! Imagine being at your camp site, it's now 5.00 PM, you have just wetted your palate with the one & only stubby you possess. You now have the taste, but nothing in stock to follow up with! You have an Engle, the best on the market, its got solar power, standby battery, Honda Genny to fire up, but the Engle has NO GROG. The only happy person will be your wife. And there is no point in keeping them happy.

It is at this point you will consider that the asking price of $85.00 per carton was fair & reasonable after all & wish you had o0f made the purchase.

Just my opinion. LOL & Cheers

But apart from that.......................

Just did a quick Google and found this.
There are probably a few other lists out there.

Gday,
In Alice, you will pay between $30- $40 for midstrength, depending on specials.
There are no dump points I know of out the West Macs but there is one at the $hit ponds in Alice.
I wouldnt rely on buying grog out of the major towns at all! There are too many regulations.....some places have a six pack limit, some you need to be a paying guest and some dont have takaway licences at all. Your better off stocking up before you head out.

Cheers
