Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

Last leader from the “Covid” era still in office.

Yes Barr None

Butt after a decade, it’s probably time to hand the reins to power to the next galaxy

Canberra being the public service city it is has the second highest average salary in the country and they’re ongoing socialists (capped salaries and shares. Who gets Zilch shares ? All of ‘em)

The land tax adjustment from stamp duty was tough as the one off payment became an annual tax on home owners. Just reminds them how in their lives guv’mt is in the ACT

Dipper and Wayne Carey in the VA lounge, guess they were heading to gather round. Although given Carey’s thoughts on the Peter Wright suspension maybe not.

Unless I’m mistaken, Simon Pryce (current Red Wiggle) is in the QF Dom J lounge right now. Anthony Field (original Blue Wiggle) was also here until a few mins ago.

But not in CL? Perhaps that's why I don't see anyone famous. CL is a bridge too far for me. Though I am sure I say Billy Connolly in the SYD INT F lounge once.

Thanks for identifying what they are famous for. I am sure the very first post on this thread did. Most helpful.

No, that would have made it easier Truth be told I had to look them up to confirm names/roles.

You must have had some inkling of their identity, but then it begs the question why an adult would know the Wiggles? Children?

No kids and I am old enough that the Wiggles were not relevant to my own childhood. But it’s hard to not have had any exposure to the group or its members over the years (either through the media or pop culture in general).

It's the age of the children that the Wiggles appeals to. It's the time in a child's development that they want to watch again and again and again. It's hard to avoid knowing about them as a parent

(And they are quite catchy IMO Fruit salad yummy yummy)

Slightly OT, but some bragging rights here - now 42 year old Ms Flyfrequently performed with The Wiggles at Kidz Day Out in Melbourne before they were famous in '96/97 summer from memory.

Our niece grew up with the original yellow wiggle and they remained friends. Used to be a real bonus for her young nieces and nephews when she took them to a show and ended up meeting the Wiggles.

This happened 2 weeks ago, Mr. Burgess, DG of ASIO at CBR.

Well, Billings is not unknown in England and there were emigrants to the USA called Billings, and probably NZ, so all could be related.

Waleed Aly in the Air Calin lounge and in economy on my flight from Noumea to Sydney yesterday.

Arrived at Phnom Penh International a few weeks ago and there was a huge throng waiting at the exit with a band ready to play. They struck up a tune and people chanted and cheered as.... Miss Universe Cambodia exited the gates!

Did you know of her already? Or was it the sash and tiara that gave it away?
