On the day the fog was below CAT I minima. If your going to do it , do it properly.
Cat 3 at Mildura? Seriously? By the looks of it, it's being put in to make the place attractive for training. By all means, put it on the most appropriate runway for the bad weather, but thinking it should be Cat 3 is being delusional.
In any case, just make Adelaide Cat 3. Fog problem solved.
