Hello Everyone,
Well as you all know the Australian open has to come to an end. I was over Melbourne on the 25th to the 27th for the womens final and on the way I picked a Nikon D800. Yes I know it’s not an aviation spotter camera but 36mp is like 1.4x tele-converter with you all the time. I stayed at the vibe savoy since it was very close to Southern Cross Station where all Skybus buses terminate.

Arrived at the airport at 7:35am. Just 5 minutes before check in cutoff. There was a trafic jam on the M5. This was the fastest I've gone through check-in and security. I went through in under 3 minutes.

Boarded the aircraft on-time at 7:40am. I didn't get a window seat

The remains of my breakfast. Qantas has seemed to downsize the breakfast since the last time I had breakfast service with them. No more hot stuff

but overall still good.

Arrived in Melbourne on time. Taking the skybus to southern cross station. I think the Q streaming is a very nice addition to the aging 767 fleet and will bring it up to the standards of the A330s
The first thing i did was drop my bags of at Vibe hotel. I then headed out to JB Hi Fi to get my D800. From now on all the shots are from the D800.
