OK..first one that comes to mind is of course...Birdsville pub, races are on first weekend of September, no accomodation at the pub that weekend of course, but you can camp "underwing" if you like crowds.. great weekend, (Iam thinking of going ) if not any other time the accomodation is 3.5 star (so very comfy) food is excellent and staff friendy. mogas is available opposite the pub at the servo and of course aviation fuels are aplenty (although costs a bit more) anybody flying out race weekend, make sure you have everything current (including your fuel log) as you can bet certain parts of the anatomy that the casa rampers will be out and about.
