We left Perth at 7:30 pm (we'll post some photos from there soon!) and arrived back in Melbourne at 1:00 in the morning. Our next flight to Cairns was scheduled to depart at 9:40 am so we decided to not to worry about a hotel that night. A whole night in the airport is quite an experience! We searched for a place to sleep for awhile, wandering in between terminals. One guy beat us to some nice leather couches, so we settled for a carpeted floor in the deserted international terminal. We woke up at 5 am to a busy airport and never felt more like backpackers!
We waited around until 9 and boarded our next flight, only to sit on the Tarmac for 2hours before getting off again... something wrong with the fuel filter, so it was good we didn't fly. So we finally got a replacement plane and were herded through the airport to a different gate.
Needless to say, we made it to Cairns eventually and slept from 9:30 at night until 12:30 the next day!
