The runway at Hobart is in a shocking state with a badly deteriorating surface. After nearly every arrival and departure a vehicle has to do a runway inspection to see what bits have become dislodged. I noticed last week when I flew DJ from ML that the aircraft used most of the runway to stop and certainly rolled out full length to turn as I believe turning on the runway is now discouraged.
At least one passenger on the relevant flight noticed that they had "nearly run of the runway" as I was speaking to him. I didn't have the time to find out more unfortunately and I admit that at the time I thought he might have been mistaken seeing as aircraft are turning at the ends of the runway.
