Gas access is limited off the main drag, but sure helps you get to Cairns cheaper
Dunno the legality of filling up on Propane BBQ Gas further up (it's available but they may not wanna do it) plus of course they may not carry enough for a band of 4wder's.
I'm booked in for my dual fuel conversiona nd still intending a cape trip. It'll be a pain with a 45 litre petrol tank but it's possible. just need a lot of Jerry cans.
Without LPG I wouldnt even consider it due to the cost of the Highway sections.

You can but bbq Gas is made up of a different composition than autogas so it might not be good for your motor. BBq gas is dearer too.
