Giles weather station does not have any public facilities but the Warakuna Roadhouse is about 4/5 kms away and has fuel supplies. Give them a ring to ascertain what they have available. Try (08) 89567344.

Also, Wayne, if you get there at 8.00am (local time) they have the balloon launch which is interesting. Also a guided tour of the establishment. Giles is in WA- but they operate on SA time.

My recollection is that Warakurna had opal unleaded 18 months ago. If not, they have Avgas.
You can also email them:

Phil,
Thank you for the info.
We might have another vehicle on the trip if they can get fuel at Warakurna.
