839.59 Miles Later …

Our Tasmania road trip has concluded at the Avis office where we just dropped off our rental car.

Then a 2-minute walk across the road to the Burnie Airport … located in Wynyard … 11 miles from Burnie.

This is a small airport … no jetways, no nothing. Didn’t see a security checkpoint either. A door marked “Departures” leads to the tarmac … from where we will board our flight to Melbourne. We have a while until that happens, however. If the “will open at 4:00p” sign on the door of the café/gift shop is anything to go by, our flight might be the only one going out today … once the aircraft arrives, that is.

At the moment, I am the only soul at the airport. Mui walked over to the hardware store at the other end of the parking lot to entertain himself. There’s no sign of any airport or airline staff either. All alone I am.

This is a good time for me to catch up on some logistics work. The more I get done here … the more time we will have for sightseeing in Melbourne!Leer más
