TAR 18 Locations/Destinations **spoilers**
Prophet:
I would guess that they will be boarding that charter flight in about an hour. Any way to track its progress and/or discover who makes it on the first one?

Of course, this makes the assumption they are flying back, rather than flying on to somewhere. As I said, I have two reports now (reliable) that producers were in Melbourne last week timing the time it took to get from Southern Cross Station to the Southbank area. Could they be doing something in the outback, then having to make way from Broken Hill to Melbourne?
Broken Hill to Sydney or Melbourne or even Adelaide is not that much on flying time.
Cheers,

There is also a flight back from Broken Hill (chartered) on REX this morning...
http://www.sydneyairport.com.au/SACL/Domestic-Arrivals.html?date=23/11/2010&results=1000&carrier=Rex
ZL9997 Broken Hill-Sydney arrives 11.30am
But I doubt the racers could be on that, given that they would get to Broken Hill about 8.30am to 9.00am, and then it suggests they'd almost be heading back immediately...?
There is also ZL861 (scheduled service) arriving back into Sydney at 12.10pm
Some things to think about there... there isn't many services out of Broken Hill. Maybe it is a driving on leg? Or is it Indian Pacific from Broken Hill back to Sydney? (Departing Broken Hill at about 6.30pm tonight, arriving Sydney 10.15am Wednesday) Indian Pacific to Adelaide doesn't run today.

I would count on the Indian Pacific to get them back in time for the next leg after (or during) a regular pitstop.
Also Kynt did say they would be driving themselves once they arrived. This seems to be logical anyway as a Australia should allow this and there are not many taxis in Broken Hill.
Neobie:
I think the chances of another Australian leg after Broken Hill are minimal, so I'd say Wednesday is a Phil day (at the next destination), and teams leave Wednesday afternoon or evening to race at their next destination on Thursday.

Welcome to RFF, rodcub!

No...they can leave from any airport, just takes permitting.
