1973 Launceston to Melbourne, then on to Perth on the train I think. I was 3 and don't remember much of the trip!
LST _ HBT. With Legacy. We were even invited into the cockpit to watch the pilots at work.
1971 In the back of an RAAF Hercules, Brisbane to Wagga Wagga, joined as an apprentice not quite 16 thought they would give us a thrill.
Besides emigration from Northern Ireland as a baby... My first flight was home to Ireland as as 14 yr old and I loved π it .. kept all the sugar /salt/napkins off the British Airways flight and as an Adult become a Travel Agent ... can’t wait to hit the sky’s again when Tassie opensπ
Melbourne to Perth as a very young child, accompanying my younger twin brothers and parents. My father was taking up a mining job somewhere in WA. Probably about 68/9 years ago! I have no memories of it though.
From New Zealand to Tasmania to live, way back in 1989
Sydney from Port Macquarie to see the Ophthalmologist.
1968 on a DC 8 Melbourne to Launceston with my mother and brother, my came over on ferry.
