QF589
BNE-PER
VH-OGE "City of Orange"
Seat 38K
Got up at 5am and left for the airport at 6:20. We got to the airport at 07:00. The bag drop of line was quite big but it only took about 20 minutes. Went though security and up to the boarding gates to gate 23. In the morning I went on balus and saw that OGE had operated the red-eye from Perth so I thought that that would be my a/c to Perth, and I was right.
"City of Orange" parked at Gate 23.
OGG was parked next to us at Gate 24 and TJE at Gate 25.
Boarding commenced at 07:55 and I made my way to the boarding gate. Though the aerobridge on the a/c and to Seat 38K.
Pushback out of Gate 23
The back of “Shepparton” (VH-VXR)
Four QF 737’s
“City of Rockhampton” (VH-OGG) was off to Darwin 5 minutes after us
A QF B763 parked in the JQ, Q6, QQ section which I have never seen before. You can also see a VA B77W at the international terminal an EK A345 being pushed back and an NZ A320 on taxiway Alpha

A very cloudy morning
Cruising at 36,000 ft
Breakfast was served half an hour after takeoff, we had a choice of Scrambled Eggs or Sultana Bran,I took the Sultana Bran, which came with Apple Slices, Orange Juice and a very nice muffin.
Cruising somewhere over Northern NSW or SA
It started to get very cloudy as we passed the SA, WA border
About an hour before starting descent we were given a snack which was a cookie and a drink
Passing over Kalgoorlie
