We are on the way from Europe to Australia with our 252. Actually we have made good progress, we’re currently in Lombok, Indonesia. If all goes well, we’ll arrive in Darwin by Thursday this week. Our plan is to fly around the country for a couple of weeks. I have some questions and I know there are Aussies here, at least @Mooney in Ozdoesn’t disguise his home base. I‘m not completely new to flying in Australia, we have been down under twice and rented an aircraft. Once out of Sydney and once out of Perth. Altogether I have about 50 hours VFR in Australia under the belt. From our previous visits I know that CASA mandates this (somewhat quirky) throttle lock and we don’t have one. Is there chance to get one that fits a 252 once we arrive in Darwin? We‘ll have to change the oil at some point. At home I do that myself, but away from base we’ll need a shop where we can cut open the filter, get rid of the oil and so on. A borescope to peek into the cylinders would also be good. Does anybody have a recommendation? And finally, more general: Where should we fly to? Is there a place we must visit besides the famous tourist destinations like Uluru? Or maybe we could even meet and have a beer?
