Tips for travelers at GYB
Plan your ground transport before you land — Wodgina is genuinely remote, and rideshare apps aren't going to help you here. Most travelers arriving for work have transfers arranged through their employer or contractor, so sort that out early. Flying into Brisbane first and positioning out works well if you're points-booking; check your Qantas frequent flyer balance because domestic redemptions on this kind of remote route can be surprisingly good value. The Pilbara experiences extreme heat between November and March, so pack accordingly and check flight schedules during cyclone season, as disruptions do happen.
