BOTW: Stan for sale?; Trouble at Kiis; Tabloid genius; Does the ABC really have Australia’s best marketing team?; Sydney’s cluttered streets

Welcome to Unmade, written this morning at drizzly Sisters Beach, Tasmania.

I’m feeling even happier than usual to be home. During yesterday afternoon’s flight across from Melbourne our pilot informed us that a storm meant our tiny Dash 8 would likely divert to Devonport. That would have left us the wrong side of the River Cam, where floodwaters yesterday reduced the main Bass Highway to one lane across the bridge and delays of up to three hours.

It felt like an episode of Seven’s Deal or No Deal as we descended through 15 minutes of whiteout, waiting to see which city we would arrive in. When the suitcase opened on final approach, the storm had moved on and we were indeed at Burnie-Wynyard Airport.

And, speaking of Seven, I learned a small piece of Qantas trivia during the journey. Sunrise presenter David Koch is a Chairman’s Lounge member. Back at Sydney Airport, I spotted Kochie leading colleague Natalie Barr through the secret door to the most exclusive club in Australia, as they prepared to fly to Perth for this weekend’s Telethon.
