The 737 service no longer offers coffee/ tea and frequently does not offer water in the morning, just juice. The Dash offers coffee/ tea and water.
SYD-CBR is not that bad but in my early days of flying this route frequently or when I have been rebooked due to planes going tech there is a fair chance that rows 15 onwards on the 737 on CBR-SYD will not be fed or watered on the flight.
After 4pm it is beer or wine or water with some cheese sticks and dip if its a snack service or a stale foccacia if it is dinner for economy on the 737. The Dash offers a wider drink selection.
If it is a bit bumpy the crew may not get up at all out of their seats or may only get to the first few rows. It is not unusual for PAX to land with various service items stuffed into the back of seat pockets and holding half drunk glasses of wine.
Since the now frequent delays due to SYD ATC the flights are much calmer in terms of service but a few years ago it was not uncommon to have a flight time in the teens of minutes on the 737. The shortest CBR-SYD was perhaps 13 minutes flight time ? Sadly those days are well over and now it is not uncommon to be late in both directions due to ATC requirements.
