A pretty good 4.5 hr flight to Perth. 737 in J, row 1.
Lunch on board, chicken in sauce. Not bad. Poor choices of wines though - Chardonnay or Shiraz.
Wi-fi except over the Bight. Then we got some turbulence!!
We learned of a positive case that flew in from Brisbane to Hobart airport when the Wi-Fi reconnected over WA.

Tonight's digs were the Ocean Beach Hotel - somewhat basic and really noisy until the beer garden shut down at 10 pm. Then only the sound of the hoons on the road

A friendly sounding officer asked the time period I was at Hobart airport. I explained that the Taz check-in app showed I arrived at 2:46 pm. No worries, he said, you were one minute outside exposure period. Lucky you.
Yep, Lucky me!!
