When Qantas landed its "Retro Roo" plane in Longreach this weekend, residents could have been forgiven for thinking it had flown straight out of the 1970s.

Tamika and Derek Heiden from Melbourne were among those on board. 📷: ABC reporter Chrissy Arthur #longreach #queensland #qantas #retroroo #charity
