Default real life use of general aviation for this newsgroup

I have not flown into the real Aussie outback myself but I plan to in the
next couple of years. Probably the best way to do this is on organised
tours. There is at least one outfit here where you can tag along in your
own plane with a group of very experienced outback pilots , with
accomodation, meals tours etc organised. They typically last 10 to 12
days
with 3 to 4 hours of flying each day. I have read some great trip reports
from these tours.


As I recall, one of our own flying couples (don't remember who, now) went on
one of those things. They loved it, I remember.

The problem is, that soon thereafter, some new regulations were put into
place, that would make such an outing nearly impossible.

Something like needing to stay a certain amount of time before using the
privilege of transferred certificate? Someone will jump in with the
details. I don't remember enough to search on it.
