DAMP & Birdsville
The Mail Plane is also RPT
DF.
Airport staff expecting a RAAF Challenger on Fri for the day & F50 on Sat for the day.
ASA that had the misfortune of doing it on Birdsville weekends years ago used to be in a right old state when they got back on Sunday afternoons after tangling with the race goers!
Nothing like going to sleep on the floor of a Chieftain alone only to wake up to the sound of someone sitting in the back seat chundering all over the inside of the open door.
Absolute **** of a weekend in my opinion. Only high point was watching idiots get the crap kicked out of them in the boxing tent.

Even they themselves are now starting to realise that some idiotic regs were put in place but unfortunately it is a lot harder to have them taken out than put in.
Birdsville airport has staff?????? 
. A mad mate from Cloncurry went to the races and passed out in his swag, woke up the next morning to find a machete thrust into the ground a metre from his head
. Have fun all you brave souls, Caveat Emptor and remember to call back sometime when it's not Races, Innamincka and Windy-dorah are nice too

Although there were'nt too many people around the pub on the Sunday when we were there, the majority were pissed and/or obnoxious bogons!

The Ramp checking crowd have always favoured Charleville, most East bound flights need to get fuel there on the way home.
As for the body count count,
heard a figure of 58 failed in some way or another, overloaded, unrestrained articles, non current charts, all the simple stuff that pilots overlook.
Going to the Birdsville Races (and Brophie's Boxing Tent) is and always will be the blokiest weekend in Oz.
If you fly there dont worry about if you'll get ramped, rather try and gues where!

Telstra temporary tower worked - not very well though.
Apparently the tech crew did not expect so many devices to register, over 2000 on Fri.
If you could get a line you had to be quick in case it dropped out.
