To me, "full service" is offering the range of goodies - rather than just delivering the basics without even a hint of more.
I think the bar cart might be catered and loaded for the return flight (if it departs after 4pm) as most QFLink prop flights are double-catered at the major ports (SYD, MEL and BNE).
Having said that, however, it is somewhat disappointed to see tea and coffee are only available on request on afternoon services.
Last time I travelled on SYD-ABX, I was offered muffin and water along with tea and coffee on my late morning outbound flight, so I guess tea and coffee are still served to all pax on all morning flights.
