Storms over SE Australia
Have noticed some very strange flightpaths tonight due to storms near Wagga, Canberra and Albury. QF487 SYD-MEL tracked around 100nm off the coast of Bega before turning west towards Melbourne.
Also noticed a very strange ATIS for Canberra, assuming this is due to the storm? Quote:

Storms have passed here in Wagga and have moved to the North. Has been the most intense storm I've seen in many years down here!
The evening QLink flight ex-Sydney arrived almost 2hrs late I believe.

Around 5.20pm today a Virgin Australia 737-800 (one of the white variety) took off from 35 in CBR, looked a lot faster than usual, made a (very) immediate right turn to track close to due east, then as it disappeared I noticed it was heading close to due south. Would that have been a CBR-MEL trying to avoid storm cells west of here? Or did I miss something more exciting!?

That would have been VH-YFE as DJ278 CBR-MEL Rowan.

Incidentally does anyone know of any cancellations out of CBR in the morning (Wednesday)? I'm on QF872 on the way to ASP & DRW for work.

A big storm system passed over Canberra a short time ago, the rain was the heaviest I have ever seen (showed on weather radar as a black centre). There is also a lot of lightning activity in the area.
Rowan, with regards to cancellations out of CBR tomorrow, the only one showing is QF1460 at this stage.

Thanks Zac, that's all I could see last night too. 872 is still going as are most except a couple of Dashes to SYD, but also looks like 948 & 951 are cancelled?
