Around Australia using LPG and petrol

by Chris Lucas
(Woolgoolga, NSW)

We have a 2004 Prado using both LPG and petrol. We plan to travel Australia for a few years pulling a 21 ft Jayco van.

Will I need to carry jerry cans of spare petrol to help get from eg Adelaide to Darwin and Cairns to Darwin or Darwin to Perth?

What have other travellers found--are there enough LPG outlets around Aus to keep topping up with gas--or not?
Thanks

Chris, that depends on what exactly you plan to do, which routes you plan to take and which sights you want to visit on the road.
The more adventurous you are the bigger the chances that you could need a jerry or two for detours. (You shouldn't if you just stick to the main highways, but then you won't see a thing.)

I would recommend you get a good map that shows all the service stations and what they offer. (The maps I recommend in my free outback guide all do, sorry, don't have any direct links handy here.)
