Adrian, No problems at Ayres Rock and Mt Isa. Most Servoes will give you extra cash if you fill your tank. I've never had any problems in the outback. Mal.

Adrian,

EFTPOS is everywhere. The major problem I had was some odd and slightly inconvenient closing hours at some out of the way places...this is to be expected.
Doesn't hurt to always carry a couple of hundred on you to confirm your liquidity with the late night-tow truck driver if needed etc...
cheers rich

Go to the banks and get their booklets that have a list of places with banks. ccards are every where, eftpos is in most places but cash is sometimes hard to get. Some cash in the wallet is fine.
