Your going to love Alice. At least you can get a hope with AF to Sydney and Christchurch when you want. Have fun and take extra tires, they have a lot of "3 flat roads" around there. Fuel will be very dear. Take extra cans and water containers if you plan to travel.

They should have the filters available locally,possibly through Lexus (LX570 and/or new Landcruiser)

Who knows,I may run into you while you're there Mike,I might move there in a few years.
