Hi there
In the prep and planning stages of a trip to
Innamincka and
Birdsville, from
Sydney via B'
Hill,
Tibooburra and CC.
Just wondering on the fuel options available between
Birdsville and
Noccundra, via the
Birdsville Dev road and the road south that runs parallel to the SA/QLD border.
We'd be after ULP and possibly Diesel.
Looks like one option would be duck into
Innamincka before the turn left to
Noccundra.
Thanks in advance for your
feedback.

Hi, I assume you mean
Birdsville -
Betoota then south down the Arrabury road into
Innamincka, if this is correct - there is no fuel between
Birdsville and
Innamincka and yes, your only option is to duck into
Innamincka before your left turn to
Noccundra.
Have a good time - it is a great trip. Lots to see and do.

Assumption is correct.
I thought that might be the case.
Based on the distances, we will have to pull into Innanmincka before
Noccundra to fill up - doubt we'll make it all the way.
Thanks.

Prepare for a shock at
Innamincka - $1.79 ULP vs $1.43 b'ville - dunno how that worked out!

Just because there are oil
well around Innaminka it does not mean there is refined spirit available on site. The nearest oil refinery to there is at
Eromanga and that is where the cheap fuel is.

Fuel at
Eromanga is 24hr at the refinery (BP if I remember right). Quite cheap compared too - don't have figures right at hand - and very fresh & good quality. That's our prefered fuel stop whenever possible when heading from southern QLD to Strzelecki area.
