LPG availability between Brisbane & Broome

LPG availability between Brisbane & Broome

by Peter
(Brisbane)

Mount Isa

We are planning that obligatory once-in-a-lifetime trip outback and driving a petrol/LPG 4.8l Patrol.

The LPG trip planner indicates there are plenty of outlets for LPG along the way. Has anyone done this trip and noticed LPG availability?

Wow, great trip
by: Rita

Hi Peter,

Outback towns in Queensland like Longreach, Winton, Cloncurry and Mt. Isa usually have LPG, as far as I remember.

I've got no idea what it is like in the northern NT and WA, so I leave this open to answer for other readers.

Enjoy your once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Any tips?
by: Rita

Peter has contacted the Outback Guide again, he's still searching for facts about LPG availability between Brisbane and Broome.

"I have looked at the road plan and it seems to show ample LPG outlets along most of the way but everyone I talk to shakes their head and says "Very scarce". What is the truth?
Peter"

Peter's trip is planned for next year, so if anyone can shed some light on this, please post here.

Thanks,
Rita

LPG in the Kimberley
by: Birgit

Peter, you'll have no problems as long as you stay on the bitumen. Except, here in the Kimberley we don't have too much of that.
Once you cross into WA you can get LPG in every town and at the major roadhouses along the highway. And we have the one highway and not many towns.
If you were planning to drive along the Gibb River Road on LPG you have a problem.

By the way, the regional HEMA maps have all that information. Just get the maps you need for the trip.
