Hamilton Island has gone cashless, but is keeping the 1.25% surcharge for all ācreditā and ātap and goā transactions made on the island via credit or debit card.
There have been stories in the news about Adelaide not liking the nickname Radelaide. I agree with those that think that thereās nothing wrong with calling it Radelaide. Itās a bit of gun.
Itās Brisvegas thatās absolutely stupid. 
All companies facing bankruptcy pull that line. They need to, as the slightest sense of insolvency, sales then evaporate. In these sort of events, you need to basically ignore the companyās mouthpiece and look at whatās happening around the edges.
You can pretty much say itās over if Korda is mentioned. Just a matter of when. I nearly fell over when someone mentioned they are just helping in a āadvisorā role, all is normal, nothing to see here.
Iād say give it until the end of this month and itās all over.
Someone mentioned elsewhere that they have pulled all the recruitment ads they had out. Something is most certainly in the wind.
Iām booked to fly with them in three weeks time from Albury to the Gold Coast.
Just my luckā¦

Construction has begun on a temporary screening point at the eastern side of T1 and will open in August.
More about my personal holidays: I am holidaying in Tathra with my family this week from Wednesday to Saturday. Have any other members been to Tathra before?
I havenāt, but just be careful about announcing that your family is away from home onlineā¦
Itās not theyād know where he lives. People do that on Facebook all the time.
Yes. Had a school camp where we stayed in Tathra. We were studying regional towns like Bega, Cobargo, Central Tilba and Bodalla for Geography.
@foxyrover, I do not disclose where I live online, but there is always someone at home anyway. Too tricky for you. I will post in the Random Thread when I will go back to Canberra.
Worst thing about staying in a National Park area - the prices!
Currently at Cradle Mountain in Tasmania, Hotel Accommodation is okay at $230 pn, but $58 for Dinner and $13 for a schooner of beer is steep! Iām not really surprised though.
All still quiet in Bonza land.
My brother had a flight later this week, just got the cancelled email āengineering requirementsā. Rebook costs of $750 with J* and a Bonza refund in a few months.
I reckon we might hear something this week. Seems like they have had a week or two to work out what they want to do next.
Donāt think thereās any room in the domestic market at the moment to have five carriers where we have QF, VA, JQ and ZL growing operations.
If VA didnāt cease operations of Tiger during COVID, could they still be around?
Somethingās definitely brewing though.
They changed my (planned) return flight in a couple of weeks to a completely different day so decided with all this uncertainty that it would be prudent to pull the pin on the whole trip now while I could still cancel my accommodation without change.
Looks like it might be the end of Bonza, all flights cancelled today. Rumours aircraft have been repossessed by the lessors.
Bonza done - planes have been reposessed
Official line from the airline is ātemporarily suspendedā
