Brisbane from the Air


We left Fraser Island on the 07.40 catamaran to Hervey Bay and the 09.50 Jetstar flight to Sydney.

Jetstar is a no-frills airline. It's owned by Qantas but they don't fly the kangaroo on the tailfin, they fly a cheap orange star. Like scousejet, they adorn their trolley-dollies in black and orange, which screams inexperience and nail files and cheap foundation. Then they bring a trolley round and sell you a drink and offer to sell you other stuff from a catalogue, including a whole fridge. I don't know where they put these fridges or how they get around the weight allowance but it's an interesting concept.

And here's Brisbane as we flew to the east. You can see the Gabba cricket ground in the bottom left corner, once again tantalisingly close.
