grocery availability

your missing plenty Joe, or atleast reading to much into the post....lol
i posted the original question up, as i was at Glens house using his computer. between those of us going on this trip, we've done several Simpson crossings and several trips to The Cape aswell as many other places inbetween, just none of us have been to these areas and have no idea of those towns actual sizes. i guess i could have goggled it, but it's much easier to ask those who have been there first hand what can be found in a town you plan to visit along the way. we assumed there would be decent sized shops there, hence why i asked specifically about those towns, but is better to be sure then assume IMHO.
the triangle is part of a 5 week trip leaving Brisbane and heading North via Normanton then across and up to Darwin and then back down South towards Alice, but turning East at The Plenty Hwy and somehow home from there (haven't decided how yet...lol).
i ask you this.... without having been somewhere before, how are you meant to know how big it is and what is there in that town?
i'm sure we'll have a great trip mate, we always do.
cheers

rumpig...I was gunna say....take your gun with you as there is plenty of wild pork roaming around Normanton and the Gulf.....hahahaha

The thing is...everyone has to eat....even in the most remote Aboriginal Communities you will find a well stocked shop..so towns on along the highways will have even more to offer...don't stress, ya won't starve

PS: Sign out of Cadney Park, Stuart Hwy,SA"

Stop and eat something or we will both starve!


LOL


cheers

hey Spero,
i realize everyone has to eat and that they have to get their food from somewhere, but i've stopped at towns previously that i thought might be a decent size, only to find they were much smaller then i ever expected them to be and very little was available there, hence why i posted the question just to be sure. we are planning on having some specific meals on our trip away (we like to eat pretty well even though we are away from home...lol), which is why i'm chasing info. on certain foods.
i was never worried about starving, like i said we have crossed The Simpson and been to The Cape already, aswell as many other places inbetwen those locations, we just wanted to double check on what was available where.
cheers
