@Lookleft - don't know where you are in Australia, but Qld has full-on holiday season in midwinter. Here on the Gold Coast we have tourists from Melbourne (particularly), Sydney and New Zillund. Everywhere north of here is the same. Melbourne/Gold Coast was/is one of Tigers most heavily patronised routes, and I agree with the cynical comments earlier regarding the holiday season - very convenient for other carriers that the Tiger grounding happened over the hiloday season.
