Too true. Don't remember getting this much fog out here this early in the year? But i cant remember.

Saw the fog from Sydney this morning on the news, nothing diverted from Sydney did it ..looked pretty thick over the harbour?

Didn't lift at Bathurst Airport until about 1000-1030. Apparently very very bad out there this morning.

Well i didn't quite get up in time, hence the missed lecture this morning but thats what people were saying here (bathurst) that the fog was pretty dense. Its great for collisions at round abouts!!

See that would presumably delay the REX flights in and out that and the other flights? Im presuming bathurst airport doesnt have anywhere near the same kinds of lighting at sydney?

Re the lighting standard at Bathurst compared to Sydney.....errr....no. I don't think Bathurst Council could either afford it or justify its need to the rate payers.

That's why the forum is here! You won't learn if you don't ask.
