Foggy start for Brisbane and history made

Today I had an appointment with a manufacturer which has their business right on the airport boundary, so I got up early and headed off to the airport to grab some early morning departures. Well it seemed Mother Nature had other plans as the fog in Brisbane was so thick we had a few arrivals divert and many departures were delayed. Qantas 16, a Boeing 744 from Los Angeles, made history today as it diverted to Coolangatta and this was the first time ever a B747-400 had landed in Coolangatta. Anyway I was sitting at the airport and I could hear the aircraft departing but I couldn't see a thing. Then just after nine am they came out in their droves, below are the few departures I captured but unfortunately I couldn't stay any longer.
