What is travel like for those who live in the outback?

The outback has poor roads that need high clearance, four-wheel drive cars, extra fuel and tires, and spare food before traveling.Farmers and station owners (ranchers) who are fairly well-to-do usually own light airplanes that they can fly around the outback. There may be hundreds of kilometers between you and your neighbor.There is also a highway that encircles the continent. Parts of this pass through the outback, along with several main highways through the central parts more usually associated with the outback. Truckers use these and pull several semi-trailers at once. They call these road trains. In parts of Queensland, the roads are only one lane wide, and cars and other vehicles must pull off for the road trains which can be unnerving and dangerous.Most of the outback stations are unfenced because of their vast size, and cattle can stray onto the roads. Travel in the hours around sunset and sunrise, and also at night, can be hazardous due to kangaroos which come out at that time of day to feed and can hop in front of a vehicle from apparently nowhere.Vehicles use two-way radios because of the isolation. There is little cell phone coverage in the outback. Mechanical and medical aid may be hundreds of kilomerers away. The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has bases throughout the outback, and can quickly become airborne. Even so, in the event of an accident, they may not arrive for several hours depending where it occurs. The roadways are sometimes used as a runway for the RFDS planes.Dont forget about the flies, they are relentless. Its easy to avoid the roos, and the road trains, the flies however....well just think of a national geographic scene where a kid has several flies in his eyes.matter transporters
