  1. The problem with Parkes, and a lot of country strips, is the distance from civilisation fx. It is 6.2 km from the Parks Airport to Maccas by foot. While the Narromine Golf restaurant is a bit ordinary, it is only a short (1.6 Km) walk to the airport. The Narromine Caravan park, with cabins, is pretty good and next door to the airport. I've been into Parkes a couple of times and my attempts to visit HARS Parkes have been washouts. If nothing else Narromine lies almost on the midpoint of the track between Brisbane and Melbourne. And equidistant from Sydney or Canberra Wellington,almost, lies on the midpoint of the direct track between Brisbane and Melbourne
  2. DHL hands over my parcels to AP for delivery to my PO box. There are others who handoff to AP. There are some jerks inside Telstra who will only send to the Telstra service address (jerks). It is not rocket science but some companies are either stupid or wilfully stupid. It doesn't take much to send to PO boxes (or put the delivery behind the 3rd potplant to the left in full view of the front door but not the street) Locally, we are getting a rash of Uber, Deliveroo, door dash etc food delivery people delivering to the TOTALLY wrong address taking a photo and forgetting where they left the stuff. The UK Passport office was smart enough to work out where the closest secure boxes were to us (in Oz) and then contacted us with instructions on how to get the passport from the locked box at 7/11.
  3. Our postie is pretty good - not so Telstra, the companies that refuse to send to PO boxes and couriers who leave packages on the path in full view of the street.
  4. So about 0.2db/ metre
  5. At 126.7 what is the loss per metre of the best cable and the Chinese alternate
  6. It is close to the end of 2025 (happy Christmas and a good new year to you all) Are there any good rumours on Controlled Airspace Access (and Group G) Cheers🚲🍻
  7. A John W. Howard cock up. Not even G. W. Bush was that stupid.
  8. I'll bite. You're wrong!!
  9. There were many good reason to move away from "RAA Inc" but the big furphy was that the Federal jurisdiction would look after the members. It should but won't. Little organisations like ours don't rate on the CVs of the regulators. State based regulators are even more useless.
  10. It appears that RAAus has a dispersed workforce
  11. But the next person through your guillotine might be a cop or some other innocent trying to help you out. I do, in fact, feel for your loss.
  12. "Ridiculous"? If people took more care about their duty of care we would see much less blood over the floor. Industrial manslaughter laws have only emerged (much too late) because some people just don't give a sh*t about the consequences of their actions.
  13. Try Australia Post. I have vague recollections that they have a US delivery option for on freighting to OZ (for a fee). OR US freight-forwarding services compared | CHOICE WWW.CHOICE.COM.AU How do US freight-forwarding service measure up: Shipito, MyUS, USA2Me and US to Oz?
  14. Or you can dogleg Kalgoolie - Caiguna (244NM) Caiguna - Forrest (160 NM) ULP95 and 98 and Avgas at Caiguna.
