Sunday 22 May
We were up early to catch the plane. Met up with another Aussie couple who were also on their way home to Sydney, so their plane a tad earlier than ours. The flight over our big brown land showed us just how large this country is. Out of the 7 and half hour flight from K.L. half was over Australia. As Wayne put it to us on our return, now we know why it takes so long for him to travel from Darwin to Townsville!!! Pity we could not see the inland lakes which have filled this year, as plenty of evidence of the channels which no doubt run to the lakes.
Arrived back in Brisbane, and in spite of our wonderful holiday and meeting up with so many lovely friends and relations, it was good to touch down on home soil.
Glenn was there to meet us and take us back to their home - we had a 'wee sherree' to complete the wonderful trip. Many many thanks to all the fabulous people we stayed with ,and those we swapped yarns over tea/drinks etc. - you will be hearing from us shortly, when we have come back down to earth. I start work again on 1st June, and blow me down if the phone is already ringing!
