Very rare sight at Brisbane Airport

This afternoon Brisbane was once again treated to a very rare sight, this time in the form of a Qantaslink Airbus A319.
The A319, with the callsign SXI2423, departed Oakland (OAK) on the 19th of April bound for Brisbane, with stops at Honolulu (HNL), Apia (APW) and then Brisbane. 

This aircraft was delivered to Spirit Airlines on the 01/06/2005 and had the registration of N504NK

It is believed the A319 will head to Perth in Western Australia where there are a few Qantaslink Airbus A319's already.
