Looking at that TAF and METAR I see nothing remarkable.
The prelim report mentions for example that the QF and VA were both estimating ADL past 2300z.
If the METAR is reporting 9999 with a 1 degree split in temp/dew point pre flight and you still dont have fog forming and the TAF is indicating a temp of around 11 to 14 degrees at ETA why would you think that fog was going to be a problem on arrival?
I guess what I am suggesting is that the reading of that TAF could be interpreted in different ways by different pilots.
Nothing wrong or right about that..
It just is the way it is.

The crews were caught out by dud gen.
The so called wx experts the BOM were the ones caught out by fog.
