I think YQY averages almost a dozen tourists every year who step off the plane expecting to hear "Gday Mate" but instead facing the starkness of Nova Scotia. But hey, at least the seafood's cheap!

Oh that is a hoot!!!! I was wondering where they got the A345's for that jaunt, but then I remebered a 345's cannot even fly that far,
Brings me to that article about a couple of English or Canadian tourists who were sold tickets to Sydney (Nova Scotia) but had wanted tickets to Sydney Australia, by their travel agent. The thing more amazed when they boarded their flight to Sydney (Nova Scotia) was the fact it was only a 32 seater to get there, nor did it take to long to get there.
So funny I think it made the major headlines in SYD for a few days.
