Nice trip. Do you mean a Sportstar? 150kts cruise sounds high?

I've never really seen them before but they look fairly nice.

 

4 seater with 100 horses doing 120 knots that's not too bad either.

 

Hmm the prices might make up for it they seem to be in euros and still quiet a few of them

Hi fuelled at swan hill BP swipe card, Broken Hill BP swipe card, Camerons corner carried Mogas (500 metres ) from roadhouse, Birdsville Carried Mogas from servo (250 metres) avgas available from pub, Tibuburra Avgas needs to be booked in advance and they come out from the pub ( took 2 hours as they weren't very organised ) , Hay avgas visa swipe card
