Not so long ago there was no RNAV approach to MEL 16, at least not in our Jepps. There I was in a wide body doing a twin NDB when the ILS was out, the Canadian F/O had never seen anything like it.

Also, Melbourne Ground was an absolute shambles the other day, constant over-transmissions and an understandably cranky ground controller. This idiocy at Australian airports where the tugs are controlled on the same frequency has to stop. This doesn't even happen in India.

I share my cockpit with many different nationalities, and Melbourne Airport is becoming embarrassing.
