Sunshine Coast to Darwin - Jatbula Trip

 Pre Day 2 – Thursday 15 August

Sunshine Coast to Darwin

When I booked the ConXion airport bus is was for a pick up between 4:55 and 5:15pm – perfect for a 4:30pm work finish.  Thankfully we both had some time owing and had arranged to finish work a little early as during the day I was advised our pickup would now be between 4:18 and 4:38pm.  In the end the bus arrived at 4:40pm with only one other family onboard.

An uneventful trip to the airport and we arrived at the domestic terminal just before 6pm.  As we were unable to check our luggage in until 6:50pm we sat and ate our dinner and relaxed. Our bags caused some puzzlement as to their contents when we were checking in – the hostess thought it might contain a baby’s car seat. Once checked in we made our way through the usual airport security – I had to surrender the insect repellent due to the lack of a cap. It was an uneventful flight and we managed to nap a little on the plane.  Over Darwin we had to fly a holding pattern while waiting to land. We landed about 1:15am, about 40 minutes late. 

We collected our luggage, collected our prebooked hire car and drove to our prebooked accommodation and made it to bed by 2:15am. We stayed the night in a basic motel style room at Hidden Valley Holiday Park Darwin.
