I was in Sydney last weekend (plus a few days either side), to see my nieces I and L, and the rest of the family. Overall it was pretty good trip: spent a fair amount of time hanging out at the park overlooking South Cronulla beach. Was good. There's some comments on the bulk of the trip (excluding the last hour or so of the trip) - maybe written up later; some other comments on the last hour or so of the trip - probably not written up later, and the flight back to Brisbane:

I got dropped of Sydney airport - terminal 2, and proceeded to walk through the carpark to terminal 3 (or maybe it was the other way around, I can't remember)... I hadn't bothered to print off the booking sheet - just the flight info in my phone calendar. Anyhow, after getting through checkin and to my gate, my 3.30pm departure flight was now due to leave at 3.40pm. OK, that's fine. After a while that changed to 4pm. We boarded a bit before 4, when the doors were shut, they told us that we couldn't leave until clearance had been given (or something)... a ~45 minute wait. Brilliant.

It's a bit average when the time your flight is delayed by is pretty much the flying time... (each being 1 1/2 hours).
