There was no fog mentioned on the ADL TAF. I was inbound to MEL and holding ADL as an alternate. MEL had fog forecast and we were getting updates hourly by Volmet. At no stage was fog mentioned on the ADL Volmet, at approx 2130GMT ADL wind was calm and temperature and dewpoint were 5/5. After a short discussion we decided to give the Glenelg pub away and use Coogee Bay Hotel as our new alternate.
Later that morning in Melbourne we got word of what had happened, it really hit home that things could have been a lot worse for all of us.
In my opinion the crew did a fantastic job. Well done to all.
