Antarctic flight track?

Hi and Happy New Year sportsfans.

Mrs Loco, the spaniel and I were enjoying a drink in the balmy wx outside tonight, before the invasion of neighbours when I heard a nice serious rumble.

Looked up and there was an A388 tracking over the top South of the DPO beacon and laying 4 lovely con trails. heading looked to be about 130.

Obviously the Antarctic flight - the lucky buggers!

Can anyone please confirm the route planned for this flight? It was lovely to see the girl, but as she departed SYD, picked up in MEL and then for the Southern Ocean I can only assume route was MEL KNS HBA and then out into the wilds.

Totally made the end to the year for me. The Trents have their own very distinctive sound even at altitude.

Best all and thanks for putting up with me.
