QF34 PER-SYD Friday 7th Nov 789 VH-ZNK "Gangurru"
Sched dep 1135 actual pushback 1148 takeoff 1158 (21)
Happy to be able to line up the 789 flight for the last work trip to SYD for the year. Excellent service from CSM Adam (who made me feel like a P1 with his welcome and attentive service) and FA Margie.

Prompt PDB of Duval-Leroy, having already obtained the Piper in the int lounge, stopped at one of these.
The menu:

Had the lamb shoulder for lunch. Kudos to QF, one of the most tender and flavorsome lamb dishes I have had recently, including on the ground. Even the slightly incongruous Brit mushy peas on the side blended in well. The Bethany First Village 2022 Barossa shiraz was the vinous accompaniment ($35 from QF Wine. and gets the GT leaf), not in the same league as the Wynns Messenger I had on the last flight, but a good solid example of my favourite wine style, though would have been better with some decanter time. Warranted a top up.

The trusty international cheese platter wrapped things up.

Seeing that "espresso coffee"was available on this flight, sampled a shot of the same. Tasted like pod coffee, but while certainly not great coffee (heh heh), was definitely drinkable coffee!
Another great flight, worth the hassle of international security/ busyness at SYD immigration to be on these 789s and their soft product which was once standard on all transcon flights.
