On the ' they would only fly Virgin' comment. Qantas is the only airline that flys to Alice Spring and a likely sponsor.

I got why the Pritchard's would "Only Fly Virgin"

In their mind they have Virgin as the cheapest airline. They thought they would be doing me a favour by insisting on Virgin. They don't care who they fly with, they just want it to be cheap to fly.

Now that makes sense. :-)

A few extra things to note:

1) We are working on getting some accommodation at a camping ground close by. (Wouldn't that be a site as we ascend on the camp site.)

2) We have sent the great 'Aussie Joe Bugner's' people an email (Aussie Joe participated in the race)

3) We have sent an email to CAMS about having their Chaplain run the memorial on the day 

4) Best of all... we have another angle on the ABC ... we are onto that lead now.

5) We even have a new facebook page that Warren Alchin (Driver of Car #29) has started up.

We are making it “Friends of guests” are allowed. From what I know about Facebook it’s kinda like this ‘you know the band so they have left your name with the bouncer at the front door”

This is project has grown arms and legs in all directions.

Thanks again for asking all the questions, this has had me ask questions, and now when people ask me "why?" I have answers. A good group effort. Thanks again.
