RPT at RAAF Fairbairn

Does anyone know what was going on at YSCB this afternoon that had JetStar, Qantas and Virgin parking airliners on the RAAF apron?
Was a surprise in of itself to see a JetStar aircraft in Canberra at all, let alone two of them, let alone on the other side of the complex, nestled among a Virgin 737 and a Qantas 767....

Makes sense... you could fit the whole town and most of the mining equipment into that contingent of aircraft...
Thanks!

El correcto.
I operated down to melbourne this morning then we took empty a/c over to launy (nice scenic down tamar river), picked up beaconsfield folk (mayor, lots of ambo's, everyone really) and then took them up to see Johnnie, parking over the RAAF side of the airport. Whole gaggle of aircraft from jetstar, red rat, virgin and johnnie's BBJ (with gold coloured crapper i believe) involved.
