Anyway, glad to be home in one piece.

3 hour flight from Sydney-to Melbourne! that is some storm to slow up a regular flight,that is a short distance (for a jet plane).
Would have been rather unpleasant-glad that you have to feet on the ground now Bo.Wonder how much fuel those planes carry-for such a short run,it would likely to be fuelled up for a few of the same runs-To be up that long on a hour flight-the airline would have burnt some extra fuel on that flight.
Look forward to links in 'Age' of piccies.
