April 4 (Reuters) - Australians were urged to maintain their travel plans for Easter weekend although hundreds of petrol stations, mostly in rural areas, were without power on Saturday, as the Iran war continued to strain the nation's fuel supply. "Easter is a very special time of faith and family," Energy Minister Chris Bowen said in televised remarks. "We encourage people to feel free to stick to your plans, go and see your family, go take a break - but get no more fuel than you need."
