Bit late on the news towards starlink but it is now deploying
WAI4WD:
Giddie Up. Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the news.
For a remote business out in the Kimberleys, it would be gold.
Do we know who is giving them a pipe for the ground stations probably doing the local routing?

Kimberley is not covered yet. I believe Nth Qld will be done before Nth WA. Population and all.

Hmm, nice and informative but I do not trust this map...
It shows a fictitious country known as Tasmania!
See attached for future reference.
Bookleaf:
I read that Birdsville is right on the northern edge of the current coverage map. There are people there at the moment who have enabled the mobile option and are trying it out for others with the Big Red Bash attendance in mind.
Apparently, the map is quite accurate. Just north of town coverage drops off quickly but south of town, and near the Bash area, it seems to be OK.
Also, Starlink has just announced that by the end Q3 2022, coverage will be expanded in a triangle area from the current northern border up to Mackay and back to the north of Lake Eyre.
There is no expansion announced for the West Coast as of yet. Just north of Geraldton is the current limit.
