Need help with a Qantas 747
 

The last few days l have been working 250kms north of Melbourne(in the middle of nowhere)and have noticed a Qantas 747 fly over from East to West. Yesterday it went over at about 7.45am and today at around 1.pm. l'm guessing it was the Sydney-Perth flight? It also started a heated debate about how high or low it was flying.....everyone telling me it was too low. Is there any way to find out the relevant info? :)

Could have been the Sydney-Johannesburg flight, it has been going via overhead Melbourne the last few days. Would not have been lower than FL280.

250km north of Melbourne makes it a Sydney to Perth flight. No way JNB as it would have been going to Melbourne (South West) not from east to west and would not have been seen that far north (if as you say Oliver they have been going over Melbourne which they almost always do).

I probably would have been the SYD-PER flight either QF575 or QF577 opperated by the B747-300 because i did this flight not too long ago and we went pretty far south down toward Adelaide the over the Great Aussie Bite.

I have also added Melbourne and Deniliquin (235kms) as a reference for your location.

It means it could have, not probably would have been the same flight.

Thanks for your help....l was not far south of Deniliquin. :)

Could have been the domestic B747-300 services which Tim has named above.

They go over the top of Adelaide.
