Mods will move this but for clarity I'm referring to the incident details posted from Crikey above.

Difficult to tell exactly from the Flight Tracker (Incident: Qantas A332 at Melbourne on Mar 8th 2013, EGPWS alert during visual final approach) but at the 07.50.15z point at 2200' altitude the aircraft appears to be about 9 Nm from the threshold in a straight line so probably 10 track miles or so at about 1800' HAT for RW16.

3 degree profile should be about 3200' HAT or about 3600' altitude at that point. Not sure what the terrain elevation is.
