QF Lounge access and Inter Terminal Bus, Perth

[melaus]

I'm flying into Perth on 'another' International airline from O/S and transferring to Perth Domestic for a QF FF Business Class flight to Melbourne, already booked.
Am I able to use the lounge at the Domestic Terminal as there is a longish wait and am I entitled to a free bus transfer between terminals, which I think is not free if not using QF for the onward flight.
I'm currently 'Bronze' status if that makes a difference.

Terminal transfer: Sorry, you'll need to fork out the AUD8 on this one. Free transfers are only available for QF to QF transfers.
QP access at PER T2: Yes, you'll be able to access the lounge as you are travelling in J. Present your ticket at the lounge entrance for access.

Terminal Transfer Bus is a hassle (operates ever 40 Minutes!). Just take a taxi. Costs a little more with a lot more comfort.

I believe if you're travelling on SA then you also get access to the complimentary transfer bus (it certainly works in reverse - domestic to international). As for lounge access, yes.

If you have the QF boarding pass for the domestic sector, they may carry you for free. Last time I did the transfer they just took the stub of the BP.

Thanks all round for the kind replies.

I take it it's a fair hike between terminals, forgot to mention above that there will be two of us travelling, so a taxi may be the way to go.
I will have my QF PNR printed itinerary with me but not the boarding passes.
As for the incomming carrier it is Air Asia ex KL, so I gather not much hope of scoring the free bus ride!

I believe you'll need your actual boarding pass to use the bus, although I don't know if an online check in printed boarding pass will work...

Yes, the terminals are on opposite sides of the runways so it's a long round trip between them, no chance of walking unless you have 2 hours and are prepared to take your luggage a bit offroad...

Qantas have a pretty good website that covers this although its not up to date:

Perth Domestic Airport Guide

A complimentary shuttle bus service is available to Qantas passengers (includes codeshare flight passengers) for transfers between Terminals 1 and 2. A bus ticket is required, which can be collected from the sales desk in either Terminal. For all other connections, including Qantas to and from any other carrier, a charge of A$7 applies and is payable to the bus driver.

Compare that to the Perth International Website:

Perth Airport : Getting Around the Airport

The Terminal Transfer bus service operates between the International Terminal (T1) and the Domestic Terminals (T2 & T3) and the journey takes approximately 8 minutes.

Tickets are $8 for adults and children over 5 years of age and are available from the Perth Airport Connect kiosks or directly from the bus driver.
The Terminal Transfer service is free of charge for passengers travelling with Qantas, Qantas code-share airlines or for oneworld Alliance members. Please collect your complimentary bus ticket from the Qantas Ticketing Counter prior to boarding the bus.

To catch the Terminal Transfer bus, make your way to the bus stop which is located at the front of the Terminal near the Arrivals area at the International Terminal and in front of Qantas Terminal 2 at the Domestic Terminals.

As per the previous post and the threads below, getting between the terminals is a lot simpler than it used to be.

You might be able to get the boarding pass at the transfer counter (if it is open). Last time I came through Perth, this was one of the check-in counters (near the escalators) that was taking baggage and issuing boarding passes for folk with a domestic connection.
