I read that day's Financial Review and started the novel, after a bit of sh*tposting on social media before the doors closed. Flight departed and arrived roughly on-time at MEL.

Arrival at MEL in the new T4 is a painful experience - pack your hiking boots and a cut lunch for the marathon yomp to the International terminal. I collected my bags, strolled over to T2 and into the Qantas F Checkin area.
