Kingoonya Hotel

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply we are not going for a couple of months but it looks like we may need to top up with fuel at Glendambo, pity the fuel used to be cheaper at Kingoonya and they used to do a great counter meal.

Cheers

Graham

Thanks for your reply Phil,
Was hoping to get fuel there latter in the year I guess I'll ring Ceduna when it gets closer and see if it is still available thanks.

Cheers

Kingoonya should be OK for fuel. I avoid Glendambo if possible - most overpriced fuel in SA, considering its location. I hope the pub continues to operate - nice people running it and it is a great outback pub.

Thanks Phil exactly my sentiments, how come its cheaper any other side of Glendambo? I usually make a point of filling up at out of the way places because I want them to be there next time.

A bit off target guys, but do either of you know what happened to the Track Trailer Forum?
Had lots of good info there.

Hi Des,
It appears they let their registration go I think a couple of the moderators are doing something about it. Hows things in Berri.

Cheers
Graham

G'day Graham,
Thanks for the update, I thought that may have been what happened.

All good in Berri, even have some cooler weather ATM LOL

Thinking of doing a club trip up your way later in the year. No dates yet as we are also planning a trip to tassie in Sept/Oct too.

Hi Des,
You must be sycic, just going to send you a note. If you send me a e-mail address I let you know what is happening with the Tracktrailer site latter in the week my address is mgnory@bigpond.com

Cheers

Hi vk1dx,
Getting the Hotel question sorted I think.
In regards to the fuel system. You put your credit card in a slot enter your credit limit, enter your pin and then fill your tank the amount is then taken from your card, as far as I remember. I think it was done by radio pretty simple its a wonder it isn't about in more places.

Cheers

Graham

Do you get a receipt?

I do not like the type that you flash at a sensor. You could over spend very easily. I like a paper trail.

Phil

Hi Phil,
Yes you get a receipt. I used it about two years ago and we had no problem with it. You would think it would save drive off's but haven't seen it anywhere else.

Graham

How do you just fill it right up?

Just put heaps of money on the "maximum" and stop when you wish. And they only deduct the actual amount. Is that right?

Phil

Hi Phil,
Your need to put in your credit limit, we put in a wrong one and it refused to operate. You then put in as little or as much as you like obviously not exceeding your credit limit and a receipt then appears when you hang up the bowser hose.
You'll be needing a trip to Kingoonya to try it shortly. LOL.

Cheers
Graham

Personally I am not going near the place. Unless I can get enough fuel elsewhere to do me. I haven't the slightest idea what the card limt is as I very rarely use it.
