Hi all,
Myself and some other old guys are planning a motor bike trip from Cape lewin to
cape york and am having trouble finding out what fuel types are available at some of the remoter sites.
In particular the central highway from
laverton to alice, the sandover highway to Camerwheel and from
Normanton to Coen via kowanyama pornpuraaw.
As we cant carry more than about 600klm of fuel on the bikes so it is an issue.
Also any feedback/information re
river crossing / road conditions on the
normanton to
coen section would also be usefull if anyone has travelled this way.
We expect to be travelling this section late May.
Any info is welcome

Hi Dennis
A lot of
places in central Oz have Opal fuel instead of unleaded, eg
Warburton and Warrakurna on the
Great Central Road, but there's plenty of roadhouses along that road for fuel.
I think only Alparra has fuel along the Sandover.
Cheers,
John

Dennis,
I've sent you a message with some details of mates who did that trip in 2010 on bikes.
Enjoy.
