I guess I was right to begin with. First time for everything
Looking at the maps now it does appear what was known as the South Pier of T3 has been notionally included as part of "T4" with the recent redevelopment. I had not realized - my belief was Gate 12 was still in "T3". I do note that the old gate numbers have been retained.
When I first flew out of MEL in the late 80's there were no Terminal numbers. There was the "Qantas" Terminal (now T1) , "Ansett" Terminal (T3) and the "International" Terminal (T2).
When VA (or then DJ, Virgin Blue) moved to where they are now about one and a half decades ago, it still comprised the Two Piers, being Gates 1 to 10 in the North Pier and Gates 11+ in the South Pier.
From the early 00's until a few years ago T4 was a large shed completely detached and 100 yards from the main building. T3 was gates 1-11+.
So I have edited my posts to clarify.
