Fog causes travel chaos in Melbourne

Fog brings travel chaos to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane | NEWS.com.au

HEAVY fog has stopped planes in Melbourne, ferries in Sydney and cars in Brisbane.
Three domestic flights and six international flights were diverted from Melbourne airport, mostly to Adelaide, after visibility was reduced to 100m. The fog also disrupted flights between Melbourne and Hobart.

I propose the thread be changed to:

Fog causes travel chaos ACROSS AUSTRALIA

My suburb (some 10kms from the BNE airport) was still blanketed in fog at 8.30am this morning. Given this and the rolling stop works by QF engineers, made me glad that I wasn't travelling this week.

Still, the fog has cleared into a party cloudy day and (amazing) sunshine. Very welcome after 3 days of rain (and my back yard flooding from the excess water) - but on the upside, my lawn may grow again and my tank is full!!

It made for a pretty spectacular view of the Harbour Bridge flying in around 7:30am though...a big thick blanket of fog almost entirely under the bridge.

Actually CBR was virtually fog free this morning. Pity no one could actually take off to get here.
