Fremantle - Brisbane
Off to a flying start today, up and out of the hotel by 6:15! This meant the road to the airport wasn't too busy initially, but it soon picked up as it got closer and closer. Arrived by 7 to be greeted by yet more downpours, nice!
The flight was okay, surrounded by kids, who were actually quite sweet, with the one in front of me playing peek-a-boo. Of course I ignored him like the mean old man I really am! The same kid wanted to play with the kid next to me ...
We have finally landed!!! Knackered or what!?!? It is overcast and drizzling but it is 30'C going to have a relaxing day and start getting things sorted tomorrow! I hope the sun is out or Ewan is in trouble! Missing my sister and friends and Mom and Dad! Ewan is laughing at me cause I keep getting tearful! I expect sympathy!!! I have some Cadburys Dairy Milk chocolate to help though! Might keep me happy for a few minutes!
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia koolbay73Well finally we arrived in Brisbane... Flight took about 7 hours and as we were only going 2 hours ahead, no real jet lag. We arrived in the George Williams hotel about 8.30pm after getting a 35 dollar taxi ride from the airport. Hungry, we went in search of food and got a Hungry Jacks (Burger King to all you lot back home). On our 1st full day in Brisbane we set about getting all the important stuff organised - So we now have a bank account with Bank West, got our visa stamped on our passpor...

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia ninnu... not long until we were able to join the surprisingly long queues to check-in for the 2.45am departure!<br>Once we had seating allocations firmly in hand & luggage taken care of all the way to Milan (via Dubai), we found a quiet spot to rest until boarding time.
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia oz09... to the lovely Queen Mary Falls. Overall we had a great holiday from our even longer trip in Asia. It was lovely to see Mum, Peter and Rach who had come out from England, and to meet all the Aussie family again. Jess is now planning to volunteer on the Thai/ Burma border while Tom is hatching a plan to travel home through the Middle East.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia ally_26Finally our last day of work. YAY. A bit scary thinking we won't have a job in a few hours, but I'm sure we'll get used to the feeling. The next couple of days we will be moving out of our unit and packing the car and caravan. The weekend will be spent spending some quality time with family and friends and then Monday we are off.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia kaarifiror... br><br>We arrive at the gate for our flight to Auckland and get told..<br><br>Problem 5: "Our seats have been changed". Now I give up - Barb steps in though and tells Qantas steward that we must sit together and we will not be separated - very cute. Not a problem they say we have been UPGRADED TO BUSINESS CLASS. I laugh to myself - now this is a problem I can handle. We have the front seats in business class and get treated like Royalty - Champagne ...
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia ferres... see how the river curls around the city. I took the 45 minute walk to checkout JC slaughter falls and the Aboriginal art through the forest. It took me 45minutes to walk down there and 45 minutes back and saw hardly anything as the falls where washed up and there was only a painted hand and some sign posts about the Aboriginal culture which was very disappointing. Brisbane is a very nice city and very different to all the other city's.
