Just drove down to Surfers Paradise beach to watch the farewell flight of QANTAS 747-438 (VH-OEJ) Down the coast at 4000ft, a wide turn around Northern New South Wales, and back up the coast @ 2000ft, before climbing away back to BNE.
I've had some fantastic trans Pacific flights on QFs 747s over the years...

....... kinda sad to see it go, but well worth the effort to go down and watch it.
Funny thing was, both Southbound & Northbound, I looked around me, and for all the people walking up and down the Esplanade, not one person seemed to notice a piece of Aviation history passing them by...
