Day 1 - In transit

Arrived Adelaide at 14:08 ACDT. Got stopped by quarantine because of my Chinese meal in a lunchbox, but the guy approved it and they moved on. The little dog was actually quite cute and not at all noisy.

Boarding of Rex ("Welcome to Regional Express, but you can call us Rex") flight ZL688 to Mt Gambier was an interesting experience. As per the flight to Canberra in Dec 2001 we got a small 42-seater plane with shiny propellers, and there was quite a bit of turbulence on it. We got amazing views of the Coorong Peninsula and massive radiata pine plantations west of Mt Gambier.
