Passengers on QF444 must count themselves unlucky as although it departed MEL only seven minutes late at 1537 (and only 17 minutes behind JQ514 that arrived SYD 11 minutes late at 1651 ex MEL), QF444 took the scenic route arriving CBR at 1800 a after two hours and 23 minutes trip, and estimated to depart at 1835 (which may not yet have occurred) for a slated 1930 hours arrival in SYD, more than two and a half hours late. <SNIP>
This is quite a lengthy stop in PER. Often, stops to offload a passenger with a medical emergency can be quicker than this. Is the aircraft defective?
Seems like QF #904 has made an emergency landing back at Perth too..
Not a good day for QF :/

I don't ever remember this many days of afternoon storms simultaneously in Brisbane and Sydney.
Armageddon?
Storms in Sydney and Brisbane today? Storms in Sydney and Brisbane on Friday?JohnK, do you mean 'simultaneously' (as in 'concurrently') or 'consecutively?'
I thought yesterday only had storms in Sydney, not Brisbane.
