The morning temperature was 1°C in Launceston. We agreed last night that we would sleep in this morning because we weren’t leaving till late. After packing, we spent the morning enjoying Angela’s hospitality talking family things until it was time to go to the airport. Joanne kindly drove us to the airport where we had lunch together before boarding our plane to Melbourne which departed at 1:30pm.
We are both grateful for the kindness shown by all those we encountered during our holiday, but particularly Joanne and Brendan and the extended Callinan families, Melbourne and Tasmania. A particular thank you to Brendan and Joanne and Angela and Tubby for sharing their homes with us.
We touched down in Melbourne at 2:30 and re-boarded for Brisbane for a 4:30 departure. Brisbane airport was the last staging post and we were lucky we were tired and not thirsty. At $10.90 for a regular glass of Savignon Blanc at the airport, we would have been broke if the wait was any longer. The wine on the plane was only $6! We left Brisbane late at 7:55 and arrived in Townsville at 9:55, later.
Back in our town the coats and jumpers came off for our cab ride home. The cabbie told us it had been cold.
Sebastian was there to greet us. He has done a good job looking after security around the place during our absence. Adrienne was not so full of praise about his plant watering efforts.
Friday morning we were about early. Besides the domestic chores, our main activity was to see the grandchildren, and their parents of course.
I will finish of the bLog with photos of Josephine, Isabella, Mia with us and of Sebastian
