I almost didn't make the flight to Perth this morning. The traffic into Brisbane city was almost at a standstill; what would have taken two hours took nearly three. I was ushered through the check-in desk fast, and then sat around anyway, for the plane was going through "technical problems". Funny that you need so many Federal Police hanging around the gate for a technical problem!
Once into Perth city itself I walked to the backpackers instead of trying to hunt down another bus. The wait would have been just as long as walking, and plus: the bonus of exploring while getting from A to B.
( A month in this area wouldn't be enough. )
