Someone posted that the flight from Brisbane to Darwin is a surprising 3 hrs 45 mins. It still amazes me how big Australia is - it takes over 5 hours to get out of Australia going to Singapore from Melbourne - Brisbane is only half way to Cairns etc. No wonder there are plenty of tourists who don't quite get how long it takes to go anywhere. It takes about 7 hours to drive from Melbourne to the North West corner of Vic!
A mate of mine was working in London and there was a Wallbies v Scotland game in Edinburgh, so he drove up on Friday and back on Sunday. No one believed that he went - had to produce ticket stubs as evidence - because you couldn't possibly drive that far on a weekend - admittedly it is a fair drive even for Aussies for a weekend.
