Bremer has no fuel pump dockside but a fuel truck can be organised to fuel you from the service jetty in the boat harbour.

Left Fremantle in October, currently in Tamar River. Dockside fuel was available at Bunbury, Albany, Port Lincoln, Robe and Port Fairy. Can organise a fuel truck in a few places (ie Esperance) however we did not bother. We carried 460 litres of fuel, plus 80 litres in 20 litre jerry cans and motored a fair bit and never had an issues with fuel. We carry a trolly so at a pinch we could walk to a service station, did this to top up in Esperance.

Make sure you get a Baileys fuel card as you will need this to access fuel in Bunbury and Port Lincoln.

Port Geographe in Busselton also has dockside fuel , a nice place if you need to wait out before you slip under the Capes.
There is a new marina in Augusta , I can't remember if they have a pump there .

Would check the depth first at Port Geographe. When we were at the Dunsborough Bay Yacht Club opening in November we were told none of their keel boats could get out of Port Geographe because of the silting., Hopefully their dredging has now fixed this

Cheers all.
Looking like Freo, Albany, Port Lincoln, Portland, Eden, Ulladulla, Southport then.
I need to take 3000 litres a go so the truck is no issue.
and Phil, just calculating the delivery costs and waiting for the quote by ship.
but part of the deal at home is that a little Defiance and the island Gypsy 44 have to go.

Esperance has diesel at Bandy Creek boat harbour. It's where commercial fisherman tie up. Pretty sure the James Street jetty and Esperance yacht club don't have it although there are the Island and tourist operators there.

It's been a while since I've been there so things might have changed

There is now no dockside fuel at Esperance's Bandy Creek Boat Harbour, Baileys have stopped providing this service. Now have to organise a truck tanker. Also no fuel at Esperance Yacht Club, nearest service station is approx 2km from the yacht club.

Cheers all.
I was doing the passage planning for the delivery for a new boat, but just as we are up to signing the contract the broker has gone off to Margret River for the week.
Certainly losing enthusiasm.
