Sydney to Brisbane

Lisa kindly gave us a lift to the airport this morning (having joined us for breakfast and flat cleaning). Slightly emotional exchange between L and M on departure.
Flying over Sydney offered incredible views of the harbour - unfortunately could not get to the camera! What a relief Mandy said.
Great views of coast up to Palm Beach and then a bit foggy until Brisbane.

Sat next to guy from Dubbo who has previously done the Canning Stock Route - 2 months of extreme 4WD from South Coast to Darwin. Something to think about for the future!

Arrived in Brissie and picked up car for next 3.5 weeks - cosy. Brissie first impressions are definitely more in line with Perth - more traditional Australia. This week is "Weak Bladder" week - a conference dedicated to those with issues. There are also instructions for those suffering from impotence to text "HARD" to a number - Australian's share everything.

After a light lunch and a quick tour of Brissie over to Paul and Sandra's (Charlie, Freddie and Caitlin). Great to catch up after 7 years - very hospitable and even offered Mandy use of washing machine to which she gratefully accepted. Lovely evening catching up and seeing kiddies excited by George and Joe. They did eventually go to sleep - I think Joe was asleep before Caitlin!

More soon.
