Speaking personally now, I too find it interesting when tracking Cairns - Tvl, VFR 'on top' Dunk traffic is told of Cns and Tvl traffic below me, but not me.

It is even more 'interesting' when I am squarking a known code (there is a tendancy to hold the same code for both Cns and Tvl CTR), have a plan in the system and have just been 'soft' handed to Bris by Cns approach.

Why is this, culture or edict??

I just call up the Dunk guys and arrange to be East of them or above them for a certain time. I suppose that's just as easy, but a little more 'radio clogging' than if you passed the info.

By the way, this is just me asking, the 25 year aviation 'veteran' who also remembers FSO's fondly not AOPA policy.
