Aircraft maintenance in deserts
"Regular maintenance on the aircraft includes draining fuel tanks of water caused by condensation, rotating the wheels to avoid flat spots, checking tyre pressure, and inspecting the fuselage and wings for animal nests."
The rest of the article is quite funny and discusses the issues of snakes etc. Whilst it references Victorville in the Mojave desert, CA it likely applies to Alice Springs as well.
