Nice conclusion matthandy
The Perth lounge certainly looks like an improvement from when I was last there. It was heaving and there was hardly a free seat in the lounge.
It will be interesting seeing the 747 on the PERTH route again. I flew back to MEL from PER a few years ago on one of the old 747-300 planes. I am sure those fitted with the newer international J seat will be a superior service. I wonder if they will be able to fill the 747.
