G'Day 'my name..', et al,
Yep! I reckon it suprised the rest of the room as well.
Incredulous looks all round....
The CASA 'Aviation Safety Advisor' was Teraya Miller.
You could give the lady a ring - 131757 is it not?
In my 'former life' as an FSO, we actually deferred 'Specialised Met Briefings' to the local Met Briefing Officer, where provided.
So, the info was from BOM, DIRECT!
For the remainder of the info, we (FS) were simply one of the information disseminators. ATC being the other.
Both were / are AirServices Australia.
The info then, as I'm sure it still does, 'arrived' on the printer.
We tore it off and copied / posted / disseminated as required.
Nothing 'magic' in that.
Most, if not all Met info is marked BOM......
This appears at the bottom of Area 60 for example....

.
During proof reading on receipt, occasionally we picked up obvious errors - like more than 5 HPA between 'Area QNH' zones etc. or, some clarification of various descriptions - e.g. East of a line between 'this place' & 'that place'...
Anyway, that is what occurred at the seminar.....
