Hej Allesammen
En sidste hilsen inden vi tager hjem til danmark.
Efter at vi tog fra esperence fulgte vi kysten om til Albany hvor vi besogte
en gammel hval station, hvor de for for bare 30 ar siden skod 14600 hvaler og
kogte olien af dem. Godt at det er stoppet. Videre paa vores tur har vi set
nogle af de storste traaer der findes i australien, det er karri traaer. de
kan blive helt op til 90 meter hoje.
vi har set hvor southern ocean og indian ocean modes og vi har siddet paa en
strand og vente paa delfiner der aldrig dukkede op.
Vi korte saa til kalgorlie for at se hvor de graver guld. det var vildt
spaandende.
Nu er vi tilbage ved vandet.vi har fundet en laakker campingplads hvor vi
bliver boende de sidste 3 dage. det er helt maarkeligt ikke at skulle pakke
det hele sammen inden vi korer.
Vi tager til Perth de sidste dage og hygger os og faar kobt det sidste.
Vi ses snart igen.
Karlig hilsen de tre downunder

til Perth AirportSECURITY
Passengers intending to travel from Perth Airport are advised that there have been several changes in security arrangements.
There are now increased limitations on the items that are allowed for carriage in the cabin of the aircraft.
All knives or cutting implements such as nail scissors and pocket knives or sharp pointed objects like knitting needles, or corkscrews are prohibited as hand luggage.
These items should be packed in your check in luggage for travel. Prohibited items detected during the screening process may not be returned to the passenger.
Passengers with a bona fide medical condition may carry a medical kit containing appropriate medical equipment. These passengers should carry evidence such as a doctor's certificate to substantiate their condition and also obtain airline approval prior to travel.
Parking anywhere in the vicinity of any airport terminal outside of the allocated spaces in the public car parks is not permitted. Visitors may set down or pick up passengers in front of the terminals. Cars parked outside of the public car parks and unattended at terminal will be towed away.
Due to these and other increased security measures passengers should allow extra time for check in for departing flights from Perth Airport.
Passengers are encouraged to check with their airline or travel agent should they have any concerns about increased security measures or special needs with their travel arrangements.
The 747-400 is the latest, longest ranging and best selling model of the 747 family.
Boeing launched the 747-400 in October 1985 and the first development aircraft first flew on April 29 1988. US certification (with PW-4000s) was awarded in January 1989.
The 747-400 externally resembles the -300, but it is a significantly improved aircraft. Changes include a new, two crew digital flightdeck with six large CRT displays, an increased span wing with winglets (the -400 was the first airliner to introduce winglets), new engines, recontoured wing/fuselage fairing, a new interior, lower basic but increased max takeoff weights, and greater range.
Apart from the basic passenger 747-400 model, a number of variants have been offered including the winglet-less 747-400 Domestic optimised for Japanese short haul domestic sectors, the 747-400M Combi passenger/freight model, and the 747-400F Freighter (which combines the 747-200F's fuselage with the -400's wing).
The latest model is the 747-400ER, which was launched on November 28, 2000 when Qantas placed an order for 6. The -400ER has the same size as the -400, but has more range or payload capability. The MTOW was increased by 15,870kg (35,000lb) to 412,770kg (910,000lb), giving a further range of 805km (435nm) or a 6800kg (15,000lb) greater payload. The -400ER also features a wholly new cabin interior with larger luggage bins, and several flight deck improvements.
The -400ER incorporates the strengthened wing, body, and landing gear of the -400F, plus an auxiliary fuel tank in the forward cargo hold, and an optional second one. Operators who don't need these can remove them both, gaining additional cargo volume.
The first 747-400ER was rolled out in June 2002, and flew for the first time on July 31, 2002, and this was the 1308th 747 to fly.
A cargo version, the 747-400ERF, followed the standard -400ER, and was launched April 30, 2001 on an order by leasing company ILFC for 5. The first -400ERF is the 1315th 747 built. The -ERF has the same MTOW as the -ER, and this will give an extra range of 970km (525nm), or an extra payload of 9980kg (22,000lb) at MTOW compared with the standard -400F.
Shortly before delivery of the first -400ER, Boeing had received orders for 15 ER/ERFs from 5 customers.
Various growth 747 models have been studied. The 747-500X and -600X models were dropped in January 1997. Boeing is currently proposing the 747-400XQLR (Quiet Longer Range) to 747-size customers which will offer more range, more quiet, and more features.
