Melbourne, Brisbane, Norfolk Island.

Wednesday was really just travelling to Brisbane. We met Denise and Michael at Tullamarine Airport at about 9.00am. We were to fly out at 11.30 but the plane was late arriving. We left at 12.15. On arrival at Brisbane airport, we walked the 450 metres to our digs at the Ibis Hotel.
Thursday - we flew to Norfolk Island. The flight left at 7.30am. This meant rising at 4.00am. and catching the shuttle-bus to the airport at 5.00am.
Even though Norfolk Island is Australian territory, travel is through the international terminal and passports are required.
We were met at the airport and shuttle bussed to Governors' Lodge Resort. It comprises 55, one bedroom cottages with kitchen / lounge and bathroom. The name derives from the roads in the resort being named after previous governors. Our address is 7 Darling Crescent - DC7.
After a toastie and a cuppa, we organised wifi coverage. Denise and Michael went for a walk and Janette and I took the car into Burnt Pine. First stop, the Norfolk Island Telecom shop to buy a sim card followed by a wander around the shops.
D & M walked some more. J & J explored some of the island by car although we have an orientation tour in the shuttle bus tomorrow morning at 8.30am.
There are cattle and chooks everywhere along the roadsides - animals have right of way!
Met in the evening for a lovely dinner at Bailey's, a restaurant in the resort.もっと詳しく
