Nothing too unsual with that track Nick. Outbound flight usually tracks overhead Melbourne, then down through the Southern Ocean near Heard Island before crossing the Sth African coast near Durban usually on a NNW heading, usually ending in a gentle right turn onto a straight in approach for 03R.
Certain times of the year you can see icebergs if you get far enough south, but the self loading freight usually don't see it with the shutters down.
