This got me to wondering if a Rubidium based standard might do the trick

As TvB wrote, a single one will not do the trick. You will need
a stability 1e-14 @1d. IIRC most Rb standards floor out at 1e-12 to 1e-13
somewhere between 1k and 100k seconds. Even the Super-5065 has a floor
of about 3-4e-14 (unless our friends here improved on this already).
There will be a few things that you will need to do, if you want to go
with Rubidiums:
1) Stabilize or compensate for environmental effects (temperature, air pressure)
2) Build ensembles of Rb clocks.
Hi,
Looking back at an old plot I did of a temperature controlled and air
pressure compensated LPRO against an M12+T, the Hadamard Deviation of
the 1000s averages of the 1PPS measurement was about 5E-14 at 1 day.
A large part of that was likely the GPS, so with a better rubidium
like an FRK-H in a sealed and temperature controlled enclosure you
might be around 1E-14 at 1 day.
The bit that I'm not so sure about is the travelling. A long period of
movement, vibration, magnetic fields, etc. all adding in could
obscure the effects of time dilation.
It might be quite possible, although a nearby mountain and a friend
with a helicopter would make it a lot easier!
No tall mountains in Australia, but...
Pikes Peak in the US is 14114 ft, 4304m and has a road to the top. Of
course the base is at about 5000 ft/1600 m
In EU, there's probably a Seilbahn of some sort pretty high up in the
Alps, although probably not to 4000m.
