If it's what I'm thinking of, then it was a proper turd of a morning for the passengers.What it it, where is it, why was it there, and who was the captain?
Is that the MEL Park Royal in the background?
MEL yes but don't think the Park Royal is visible. Maybe the Holiday Inn?Is that the MEL Park Royal in the background?

QF 8 (?) A380 flight from SFO-SYD. Photo taken 9 am April 30, 2013. Diverted to MEL from SYD because of fog. On ground parked at Melbourne Freigh Terminal (no gates available) for 1.5 hrs then crew ran out of hours. Fortunately we were in F.
I believe JB747 was the captain. We had a chat in the doorway as I remember.

A pretty unique way to do it.Turned out to be the very last time I ever flew Melbourne-Sydney (of the 700 or so times that I had).
which picture are you talking about? It's a good idea to quote and reply to make it easier for people to follow along because it does get kind of crazy on here sometimes.For some reason I'm getting Adirondacks, NY vibes. But vermont also seems possible.
or perhaps Ozarks?
Mt. Victoria Reserve(Takarunga), Devenport, (Auckland NZ)Not a nuclear shelter so what is it and where is it?
