Does the BNE-MEL part of the triangle get any QF A330s ? The SYD-BNE part only seems to get a token A330 service.

It would make sense for flights between the 1st and 2nd largest cities to get the larger aircraft. Despite what we may think, Brisbane is quite a smaller city than Sydney so it will be rarer than the Sydney to Melbourne route. Keep in mind that they deploy these on Perth - East coast routes too.

Odd hearing BNE-SYD-MEL being referred to as QF's 'Golden Triangle'. Back in the day, QF's 'Golden Triangle' was the HKG-BKK-SIN-HKG triangle which was somewhat lucrative and popular with Aussie travellers to Asia. Not a singular route, but functioned by both scheduling originating in various Australian cities and later, by codeshares.
Regrettably, it was systematically folded by QF in a series of it's route culls. From memory, HKG-BKK was first to go, then(PER)-SIN-HKG and lastly the (CNS)-SIN-BKK operated last by JQ, if I remember correctly. At one stage, SIN-BKK-SIN was also operated as a QF codeshare on AY metal. I wonder whether QF retains the individual 5th Freedom rights on these sectors?
