Sydney

Sydney beautiful one day, bit ordinary today.

Storm force winds, high rainfall, lines of thunderstorms and hail.

ABC local radio reporting 150mm of rain in hour on the south coast!

Yep - 8 octas of blue here in DPO- virtually zero breeze and still beautiful at 2010.

Had a MEL SYD client due to arrive 0955 to do work there and on to PER with a Sydney colleague who wound up in CBR.

QF Sales (after an understandably long hold) immediately gave authority for a refund on the unflown. Had to buy a SYD MEL for the MEL originating passenger as they couldn't unload his bag but a decent result and made my day easier.

So nice not to have to fight your way through an offshore call centre.

Best all
