00:02High fuel prices has led to a low number of visitors in the outback SA town of Oodnadatta over Easter.
00:09We've been very quiet, we've only had two tourists out of town come into the town and pass through.
00:16But there's plenty of fuel to go around.
00:19We got filled up not too long ago and unfortunately we've had no one to buy the fuel so my
00:23tanks are full at the moment so definitely no shortage up this way.
00:28In Port Wakefield travellers were wary of the high fuel prices but ultimately it didn't change everyone's Easter plans.
00:35We took my car, for me not really because such like a small engine it doesn't affect me but it
00:40is still quite expensive.
00:41We'd already committed to it and something that as a family we didn't want to miss out on so we
00:47did it regardless.
00:48Didn't quite change my plans but thought about it.
00:50Tourists have also headed to SA's Riverland.
00:53With going away we always go out for a lunch somewhere so we're supporting the town.
01:00But expensive fuel is making it hard for those on the road full time.
01:04You can't travel too far because it's just too dear, too expensive, you know, it's killing us.
01:11The Federal Government is assuring drivers another month of fuel has been locked in as it chases guarantees from Asian
01:18refineries where the majority of Australia's oil comes from.
01:22We're now a bit into April and we have secured, contracted, legally binding supply well into May now.
01:29Across the country the number of stations without supply has dropped but some are still running dry with 422 without
01:38one or more type of fuel.
01:40Here in South Australia nine stations are reporting they're out of diesel and five say they're without unleaded.
01:46Now they're just Innisfront companies and they're not going to be charged.
01:47So I think we're gonna be doing two hundred and then we're closer to the�world.
01:48Now, the next time that's full of the bus is going up.
01:48The next thing I want to know is that it's not that it's not a big deal.
01:48Can you see that the city concert was like an old university?
01:48It was also in South Australia, so it's not a big deal, but this was a big deal.
01:48We're going to be very successful and what they got us on the street.
