Landed MEL. See how long it takes me to reach the lounge. It’s still in the same position? They haven’t started renovating yet?

Looking forward to everyone arriving!

Thinking tomorrow afternoon that Rooftop Bar — The Arborist Rooftop bar & Eatery might be a good place for people to meet. It is very close towhere most are staying. They are open from midday. They can do food but for people who are going to cabletop eatery this might be a good place to come after

Could even meet up there this afternoon for the early arriving folk. Let me know and I can meet you up there

After a "slightly" bumpy landing into WLG from AKL I am at my hotel. Might grab an early dinner before the hordes arrive.

Made it to BNE J Lounge for the whirl down to SYD.
Flight’s delayed by 40 mins, glad we had a generous transfer time.

Had to nibble on a Japanese vegetable curry pie as I couldn’t wait for the flight!
