It seems like we should have been in the sky for about five hours but in reality less than two hours. Who made up that saying “Time flies when your having fun” anyway? Looking down below I can see some land. What’s that?
New Caledonia or Nouvelle-Calédonie as seen from above.
Aha! New Caledonia or Nouvelle-Calédonie. Check out the in-flight map.

Take note in this part of the journey we are 1475 km or 916 miles from Brisbane and still have 10080 km or 6263 miles to go. Crikey! Are we there yet?
Coincidentally, at that exact moment in time we were flying over New Cal a work mate of mine was on a cruise liner below us. We didn’t find out until a month later. How bizarre.
