@flyingTrini @airindia @aaikolairport @AviationAll_ @TIAG747 Hi Trinidade, would it be OK for us to publish this photo with credit in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age (Melbourne)

@michaelkoziol I was at Adelaide Airport last week which is very close to the centre of town and was surprised to see they had a whole area for bicycle parking.

@BernardZuel @NeilMcMahon 100,000 fans screaming at the footy in Melbourne is ok though.

Just a note to say that I, like many others it seems, am now posting to Threads instead of here. You’ll find me on the same handle.

[Craig Platt @CPtraveller]

How is it in this era of AI that we're all so afraid of, the likes of X isn't smart enough to work out that an account posting the same replies over and over again to hundreds of accounts is spam?

As I've said many times before, Uber would never have succeeded if the taxi industry was delivering a service people were happy with.

[Adam Hills @adamhillscomedy]

Just got refused by two taxi drivers at Sydney airport cos I wanted to go somewhere nearby. First guy even told me to order an Uber. I had to withdraw cash and offer to pay a third guy extra to take me. Is this normal? Or legal?

[Craig Platt @CPtraveller]

I'm fairly sure you could apply this to every local radio host across the country. We don't care about Sydney's talkback hosts here in Melbourne either.

The @gold1043 news referring to the referendum result as “near unanimous” is quite the take for a 58% majority.

[Craig Platt @CPtraveller]

@nomaditis It was - I had to look it up!

[Craig Platt @CPtraveller]

TIL these things you see at airports, banks, ticket counters etc are called stanchions. I had no idea.

[Craig Platt @CPtraveller]

Sorry, Daniel Andrews, but you're yesterday's news. https://t.co/BrI7iPalF2

At the NHL exhibition game at Rod Laver Arena. Can confirm no one booed the welcome to country. They did boo @masonsixtencox … not too many Collingwood/LA Kings crossover fans!

[Matt Shearer @MattWBZ]

This North End tour isn't sugar-coated. @wbznewsradio

The Qantas Chairman’s Lounge seems to exist for a single purpose: influence. It shouldn’t be closed down, but it should have a (large) membership fee attached, like the other exclusive clubs around the country (eg Melbourne Club, Athenaeum Club) https://t.co/0pTXIWwCS7

I find it hard to believe a tram stop and pedestrian area is to blame for Acland St’s problems when the exact same thing is happening on Fitzroy St and Carlisle Street, where cars can drive through freely. https://t.co/wfY2V30Dcq

[Craig Platt @CPtraveller]

It's possible that this could be the last ever Traveller tweet and I'm pretty happy with the pic.

Qantas pub test. @theage

[Craig Platt @CPtraveller]

My point being that if your main cost of living struggle is that you can’t afford an international flight with Qantas, you’re not really facing a cost of living crisis.

[Craig Platt @CPtraveller]

Not defending Qantas but why drag in the CEO of an airline rather than those who sell more essential things (ie supermarkets)? https://t.co/YduYpGtGfa

Partner just reminded me why it’s better to travel without checked luggage. She’s finally leaving @Melair almost two hours after landing! My last two overseas trips with carry-on only I was out in 7 minutes.
