Update 2
Loxton for fuel and ice. Funny I feel like I have been here before. (stopped for lunch on the way up)
Having packed lightweight hand-trolleys into the boats for the trip we had planned to walk into towns where fuel was not at the rivers edge. Having to carry 40 litres of fuel and ice and supplies didn't look enticing as some of the towns are a fair hike uphill to get these things.
I should mention here if anyone is thinking of doing a trip likes this..our fuel stats.
We had a fair bit of weight in the boats. But on average we got around 80 kilometres on a 24 litre tank of two stroke fuel with the 30 hp yamaha motors. We carried that much again spare just in case so in effect had almost 160 km of range in the tinnies.
We were able to access fuel within our ranges and because we had both both nearly the same we could use one-anthers fuel if required, but it never came anywhere near that.

The trolleys made easy work of carting fuel and supplies to and from stations and highly recommend taking them if you plan this journey.
