Dont worry about
Birdsville, these ongoing fuel hikes are going to rip the bejesus out of all towns heavily dependant on tourism.
Its not merely the cost of fuel when you get there, but the cost of commodities, supplies you may also need to purchase on your travels.
Dont get misled about the comparitive fuel cost in other countries, their bottom line economic situation is also different to ours.
We have over 80% of our fuel needs onshore, why use some peculiar offshore parity pricing to value it then add govt. excise which is then taxed again by gst?
I have to feel for the many thousands of
grey nomads now having to crowd into roadside stops until the next pension payment enabling them to fill the tank again.
A 50% increase in fuel cost over the last 18 months should cost someone (poly?) dearly.
