WEIPA to CAIRNS (WEI-CNS) on Qantas Dash 8 Q400 in economy class

I had a quick wander to stretch my legs and look around before reboarding 5 minutes later. Sunset in the tropics comes quickly and no sooner were the doors shut it was dark. We took off into the night. Not much civilisation below and dark skies means no views until very close to Cairns.

The same meal coming back. The cabin crew were very attentive with multiple drink refills. It was only later in the flight I realised we had a 3rd cabin crew member who was doing some training - perhaps the reason for the exceptional service?
