I was driving back to Perth from Cervantes and detoured towards the airport. All roads leading to the airport were jammed up. Many people were lining the freeway in all directions, hoping to get a glimpse of the plane. They would've had to wait a long time as the plane was about 2 hours late into Perth. The overcast and occasional showers didn't make photo opportunities any good. I didn't join crowded and headed away from the airports as soon as I saw the traffic jams.
I also arrived at the airport half an hour after the plane departed yesterday (tuesday) morning. Sky News showed live coverage of the plane taking off and repeated it throughout the morning.
