Hey All
just planning my next bike adventure (after going round Australia in 2014 and then criss crossing QLD in July 2015)...Strezlecki,
Oodnadatta, Uluru, Plenty hwy,
Birdsville,
Hungerford,
Bourke.
Being on a motorbike i'm worried about fuel locations, mainly between the following locations:
1)
Bourke to
Wanaaring to Camerons Corner
2) Camerons Corner to
Lyndhurst (SA) (Strezlecki Track)
3)
Oodnadatta Track (i know fuel at
Oodnadatta,
Marla and Maree) but does
William Creek have fuel?
4) Plenty hwy (NT) between
Alice Springs and
Boulia...I remember seeing JERVOIS had fuel-is that still the case? and
Tobermorey Station?
5) Fuel between
Boulia and
Birdsville
6) Fuel Between
Birdsville and
Quilpie
7) Fuel at
Hungerford?
8) fuel between
Hungerford and
Bourke?
Im going to carry some fuel bladders but depending on how much i carry will affect how much anything else i can carry
Any advice would be appreciated

Hi Tony,
i did put this enquiry into Google and got nothing, did searches by fuel companies (
Shell, BP,
Caltex) and sorted a lot of
places out, however couldnt find anything for the places/routes i listed..
Never a PIA....

Hi Muzman
Between
Cameron Corner and
Lyndhurst on the Strezlecki track there are no fuel stops and at
Lyndhurst the road house closed down (April 2015), I was able to load diesel at the pub but don't remember seeing ULP nor anything else.
Good luck.
Rob.

If you have an Android phone get the FUEL MAP app from the store and install it.
It works with your GPS and will tell you where the nearest fuel is from your current position. It can also be used to plan ahead before commencing a trip. It also shows current fuel prices at most servo's provided by user
feedback. Hope this helps.

You are absolutely correct TonyV it is a supplement to Wiki Camps. I should have mentioned it earlier. One of the features that I like most is the fuel price which is updated by users to allow you to choose which servo without touring all over.

Updates can be weeks out of date though. All depends on users putting something back
