No such luck - my wife has come down with it as well. We're all double dosed so mild symptoms from son (2 days feeling unwell) and my wife sounds like she has laryngitis and a cold at the same time. Now quarantined until TuesdayAll the best to your son for a quick recovery, and the rest of the family stay safe!
Sorry to hear that mate. Hope they recover quickly.No such luck - my wife has come down with it as well. We're all double dosed so mild symptoms from son (2 days feeling unwell) and my wife sounds like she has laryngitis and a cold at the same time. Now quarantined until Tuesday
RAT?Would be no trouble to swing by if you need the essentials restocked…
I’m down to 4 reds but as Mrs QF WP can’t taste anythIng, I’m the only one drinking.Sorry to hear that mate. Hope they recover quickly.
Let me know if you need anything while you’re locked down. Would be no trouble to swing by if you need the essentials restocked… Shiraz, Chardonnay etc.

Perhaps now is the time to stock up on some bonus points at QF Wines? I'm seeing a 10,000 point offer for a 12 pack of reds for $300 which represents excellent fuel economy!I’m down to 4 reds but as Mrs QF WP can’t taste anythIng, I’m the only one drinking.
Have plenty at work to bring home - once I can get there
Hope you get better soon. We've got much of the year ahead of us, I have no doubts there will be many opportunities for us to get up close and personal with the birds at BNE. In particular, and those from BNE please correct me if I'm mistaken here, I suspect BNE will have way more interesting birds in 6 months time than they will now, especially as borders start to open up more and more and international carriers begin to realize that.I'm now on Day 7 of my isolation and my daughter tested -IVE again today, so she's escaped quarantine and I should tomorrow. Really hit me for 6 this virus. Been unable to do anything, sucked the energy out of me. So, yes, it's still on but no, I haven't organised anything. I'll get around to it and when I do, this thread will be the second to know. Have a lead on an AFF'er who owns/ed a bus service here in Brisbane.
I think you are correct about there being more to see in six months.Hope you get better soon.

Well if we want to talk about aviation history in Queensland, I reckon there is no better place to start than the QF Founders Museum at Longreach. Indeed, they've got a number of packages available and I reckon they could probably organize something special for us if we're going as a group.QF WP, when you're better, may I suggest that you consider the original Brisbane Airport - now known as Archerfield Airport - as a place to visit? It has history oozing out of every rivet.

Doesn't seem too bad. Perhaps we could combine the two: do a BNE airport tour in the morning then fly out to Long Reach (stopping by the QF lounge of course) and attend that event. I'm not sure on return if there's a QF Lounge at Long Reach, perhaps we could fashion our ownCheck this out:

The Roaring 20's Gala - Qantas Founders Museum
To celebrate the Centenary year Qantas Founders Museum will host The Roaring 20's Gala in the National Heritage Listed Qantas Hangar.qfom.com.au
Flight usually leaves BNE in the morning and no lounge at LRE...Perhaps we could combine the two: do a BNE airport tour in the morning then fly out to Long Reach (stopping by the QF lounge of course) and attend that event.

Yeah I noticed it's an 11 AM departure. Perhaps it's possible to get a tour 7 or 8 AM, then head over to the airport go through security, grab a drink at the lounge then board the flight. Also I forgot that I'll be in HNL on the 27th of May and I believe AFF is also hosting their annual gig at that time. So maybe a different time might work for everyone?Flight usually leaves BNE in the morning and no lounge at LRE...
You're referring to Flyertalk?Also I forgot that I'll be in HNL on the 27th of May and I believe AFF is also hosting their annual gig at that time.
