Take it easy, land of plenty

Last day in Australia. Can’t believe the luck we’ve had with weather - sunny most of the time and only a few cold stretches at night. Not a drop of rain this entire trip yet, knock on wood. Some of the travellers we met camping said Melbourne has had terrible weather, including torrential downpours. Glad we didn’t include it on this go of Australia. It’ll be first on the list for next time though - maybe for the Australian Open!

Explored Brisbane a bit more today, including Mount Coot-Tha. Insanely beautiful botanical gardens and trails.

Off to Auckland tomorrow morning to start the road trip tour of the North Island of New Zealand.Read more
