No worries mate.

BrisVegas...oh well i guess some people have to populate the other parts of Australia.
Being a combination of A380 and Qantas should be here on the tarmac when you make your way down.

Hopefully is does a good service for Qantas, They need a break and some 747-8.

I've never been to the radar field, so I had a quick look around the area today - the only way I could see to access it is by walking along the M5 and then across the field. This route, however, involves walking through a whole lot of very tall grass - snakes anyone ?? Is there any other way to get to the mound there?

We've had a red bellied black snake in the control tower carpark sighted about 2 weeks ago, so they are about.

Use caution.

Regards.

Yips. First there were snakes in the plane, now there could be snakes in the control tower. Watch out Paul!

It is, and will be for some time.

Don't expect easy access.
