REX 219 Scenic Flight

Hi all,
Just checking Webtrack out at approx 13:40 and noticed this curious approach.

The good folks on REX 219 from Ballina must have been wondering if they got on a whale watching flight by mistake
I am not claiming double go arounds are rare or anything but I have not seen many.
Note the Thai 772 on final for 34L was on his second approach as well.

Cheers

I am guessing that is the flight that had landing gear issue that was on the Ch7 news tonight. Great scenic flight, wish i was on that one
