There is no airport with regular scheduled passenger flights. Nearest airport is merely 40 minutes away by train.

So now I can see D1, D2 and Mal catch ups will be on the cards - plus Myrna and other AFF blows ins to LHR (cove, Princess Fiona etc).

Still thick fog around Melbourne so not surprising that flights are being affected. Predicting a sunny 20 though when it all burns off.

Huge swells on GC and later today on Sunshine Coast - 2.5 to 3m swells. The size I loved as a lifesaver on a rescue board

Pic shows scene at 6.59 (assume EST) so 6.29 in ADL. By the time a/c arrived SYD/CBR no curfews. Maybe could have even held around ADL waiting for opening.

The pic shows a screenshot from the previous night VA694 normally arrives into MEL at 1130PM. If it was live there would have been a lot more traffic at 0630.
