The best GAM bank run I ever did was the THG-RK-GLA and return. Out of pub at 6.55am, then 1.5 min drive to airport to meet metro and be airborne with thorough walk around at 7.15am. In and out of RK and then into GLA by 8.30am for a day of whatever you wanted which for me was taking the hotel owners tinnie out for a fish. That was after finishing off the buffet breakfast leftovers. Then return in the arvo to be at TNG pub by 7pm to have first beer by 7.01pm. What a life!! And only 5 days a week, all weekends and public holidays off and a great boss to work for. There was no FRM at that stage but the hardest run I would say for early starts and long days was the CV, which I remember we only ever did two of a week max with day off in between, but man I loved the roast chicken lunch at Poppa's cafe.
