I’m writing to warn others that they may possibly get the same runaround from the Qantas overseas call centre. That was impossible, as I haven’t flown with Qantas since July 2021. When I phoned Qantas last week for a refund of this travel pass prior to its expiry, I was fed a load of evasions, before being rung back and told that it had been used. Like many other Frequent Flyers, I received a $50 voucher as a peace offering from Qantas CEO Alan Joyce in August, 2021 as a result of my earlier travel being changed by the airline. A lost etiquette not often practised by those who leave their hat on. And despite the humble nature of his hat he always dipped his lid when greeting a lady. A carpenter by trade, the Akubra was never part of his wardrobe. The trend to be seen wearing the iconic Australian headpiece has received a boost in more recent years and it seems to be a status symbol for those not just seeking protection from the sun’s rays but also wanting to create an affinity with the land.

Hats off to Katrina Lobley in the dipping of her lid in her article on how to wear an Akubra ( Traveller, July 1), graphically illustrated by Jamie Brown. Vicki Steele, Kiama, NSW Brimming with praise Incidentally, Turkish Airlines performed well apart from this. I always thought travellers shouldn’t let their passports out of sight. This meant an hour of nervous waiting for passengers in the airport transit area. The passports of all transiting passengers were collected and taken somewhere in a plastic bag to be processed with no explanation. Our luggage was checked through to Zagreb-Sydney, however our boarding passes had to be reissued in Jakarta. We recently travelled to and from Sydney to Zagreb, via Jakarta and Istanbul, with Turkish Airlines. Vicki Walker, Coburg, Vic Out of sight, out of my mind Tony Wheeler, make it number one on your bucket list. Driving to the top of Scotland’s mainland to catch the ferry to Stromness is the beginning of a grand adventure. Orkney is wild, magical and spellbinding. Its Viking history is evident and the standing stones are older than Stonehenge. Aged 55, I ventured overseas for the first time and this wonder-filled destination was on my list. One of those listed places is the Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland. Amy Hiller, Kew, VIC The Lonely guy IIIĪlthough Tony Wheeler has travelled far and wide, he still has a bucket list. There is so much within our own unique country to explore that we may never need to venture overseas again. (Who knew that Australia has 8222 islands? Extraordinary). His candid insights in his story were interesting and compelling.

Unsurprisingly, Tony Wheeler is an absolute guru full of knowledge about travelling our beautiful planet. Helene Juliff, Ashburton, Vic The Lonely guy II In the provinces you see the real Cuba, including old cars and horse-drawn vehicles in everyday use. Despite the difficulties, it is well worth travelling beyond Havana. When President Obama lifted the embargo, not only goods but tourists came and life improved greatly for Cubans.

On our recent trip our driver joined long queues for petrol every day. For example, petrol is in such short supply it is now included in the warnings on our own government’s Smart Traveller website. Cuba’s outstanding economic problem today is the US government’s embargo against them. Lonely Planet guidebooks co-founder Tony Wheeler’s account of Cuba in his cover story, ( Traveller, July 1) needs an update.
