Did someone say Longreach; haven't been there before.

Mal you found a place to stay yet. Booking for the flights was easy.

Did a drive out to Longreach last year, just for something to do.

Stayed at the Longreach Motel, in the main street of town. Comfortable and clean, most other choices are old pubs and caravan parks.

A very good Chinese Restaurant about 150m from the motel, with some of the best chinese food I have found in QLD!!!

Didn't make the 3 museums (Qantas, Stockmans and School of the air) as we spent the whole time at the Qantas museum.

I can strongly recommend the 'wing walk' tour of the 747.

Cheers

Three different sales are on at the moment from MEL.

The first one is the 'Take a Break sale' with flights to ADL and CBR selling for $89, SYD and HBA for $105 and PER for $189. Valid for travel between 11/8 to 20/9.

The second sale is for flights to BNE ($129) and CNS ($189), valid for travel between 16/10 to 13/12. The third sale is for flights to ASP (no doubt a response to the recent annoucement from TT commencing MEL-ASP service ) with flights selling for $149, this deal is valid for travel between 1/12/07 and 18/3/08.

All seats are on sale until midnight Tuesday 17 July 2007.

The ex-OZ segment has to be booked on qantas.com.au though, which means AU pricing, right?

correct, but at least you get the lower price for the return flight (and subsequent flights if you book as oz->nz one way + nz->oz->nz round trips)

SYD-PPQ doesn't seem right.
I think you mean: SYD-PQQ (Port Macquarie)

Great Circle Mapper says that the only Zone 2 is BNE-LRE
