Walked through the terminal to get this obligatory shot:

View from the MEL QP down over the new security section:

My Dash8 chariot awaits

Sat in the run up zone testing the engines then waited for clearance:

Then sat at the hold short bar at the runway waiting for all the departing and arriving planes ahead of us in the ATC queue:

Aboard the CBR/BNE E190 flight, thought I’d snap this cheeky shot as the gangway retracted:

On departure climb out over CBR, watching the sun disappear with the Telstra Tower framed:
