I enjoyed reading about Royal Brunei's service from Melbourne. Do you have any pics of the airport in Brunei?

Thanks for this trip report! I've been patiently waiting for part 2 ever since I read part 1. Zimbabwe really intreags me.

RE: United BusinessFirst MEL-SYD-LAX

It seems that when you arrived in Sydney from Melbourne you boarded another aircraft for the continuation on to Los Angeles. Is that correct? Where did the aircraft originating in Melbourne continue on to? San Francisco?
