Day 4: Travel day, Perth - Brisbane
Nau Mai
Yesterday we travelled far to the east to reach the sunny paradise known as Brisbane.
Here are some of the highlights from our travel day.
Catching some public art on my walk to a cafe. This one is called Conic Fugue, by American sculptor Charles O. Perry.
Here is my breakfast which I ordered at a cafe called Mount Street Breakfast Bar. The meal was called Shark Bay Chili Scrambled Eggs, with Aleppo butter, crispy onion, and sourdough.
For the morning pack of the Kia Carnival we treated ourselves to a minor variation with the Pelican Air 1615s going vertically along the bottom of the cargo comparment instead of stuffed in the top.
Featured in the video was the Boorloo Bridge, a crossing comprising of two cable stayed bridges that span two separate channels of the Swan River carrying pedestrian and cycle traffic.
Here we are at the oversize check-in at Perth airport. We didn’t hold anyone up on this occasion and the attendant said we could check as many bags as we wanted. I can only assume that Jonathan Pearce who has extremely high aptitude in all airport processes laid on considerable charm to get us such good levels of service.
There were some good mining equipment ads playing on the screens at the airport.
We were well early for our flight so there was time for a few games of TimeGuessr. In this extremely fun online game you try and guess the year and location of a series of photographs and you gain a score based on your accuracy.
This is a good score.
A compelling shot of our heroes striding out across the tarmac to board Virgin Airlines Flight 469 to Brisbane.
New shapes of salt lakes.
The vastness of the Great Victorian Desert.
