Another day of driving round the Queensland countryside, this time north of Brisbane. I do a lot of thinking when I'm out in the car I find and I've spent most of today musing on the last four months...
I know that people are going to ask me which I preferred: NZ or Oz and it's not going to be easy to answer. NZ has a lush magnificence and dramatic beauty that I can admire, but I didn't connect strongly with it at all. Australia is a much harsher environment with some potentially very unpleasant wildlife and yet I feel much more relaxed and in tune here. If the opportunity arose to come back and live in Australia I would jump at it - even though I have only seen a tiny part of the country. And of course I am totally smitten with the laid-back Ozzie drawl...
My next challenge is to get everything back into the trunk - harp included - before my final leg on Sunday to Hong Kong. A few days there then it's back to dear old Hereford... (don't you just love irony?!)

Gosh - has it been four months already? Do we detect as note of regret that soon you will be back in Horrorford ? It won't be that bad, honest.
We're so looking foreward to seeing you and hearing about your adventures.
And our weather has been crap/dramatic,so you'll feel that you're still somewhere unbelievable !
See ya soon, C & Bi xx
