Ha Ha Ha.

I'd just like to clear somthing up here: Outback Australia has got lots
of power lines, internet access, electricity, sealed roads, bridges, etc.

It does not have mobile phone coverage. 

If you are leaving the coast, there are very few areas that have mobie
coverage. Don't rely on it for anything, esp safety.
