Trip Report: QF BNE-PER-BNE (pics)
Hi all,
This report will include my flights to and from Perth as well as what I did while I was in Perth. It took me quite a while to type it up so I hope you like it. Back in July my dad booked a trip to Perth for the 4 of us to see all our relatives over there. Six months later the day had finally come. January 10, 2010 Qantas QF589 BNE-PER VH-OGE "City of Orange" Seat 38K Got up at 5am and left for the airport at 6:20. We got to the airport at 07:00. The bag drop of line was quite big but it only took about 20 minutes. Went though security and up to the boarding gates to gate 23. In the morning I went on balus and saw that OGE had operated the red-eye from Perth so I thought that that would be my a/c to Perth, and I was right. "City of Orange" parked at Gate 23.   OGG was parked next to us at Gate 24 and TJE at Gate 25.   Boarding commenced at 07:55 and I made my way to the boarding gate. Though the aerobridge on the a/c and to Seat 38K.   Pushback out of Gate 23  The back of “Shepparton” (VH-VXR)  Four QF 737’s  “City of Rockhampton” (VH-OGG) was off to Darwin 5 minutes after us

Rottnest Island On the 14th we went to Rottnest Island for the day. We got the 10:15 ferry to Rotto and whilst at Rottnest we went swimming on one of their many beaches, got a bus around the Island and went to Rottnest Airport for 10 minutes to see what was there, at RTS Airport there were joy flights around the Island for $35!! I would have done one but our ferry left in half an hour.
