    Both up in time to see Archie leave to catch his school bus. Breakfast and completed packing.

    Loaded our bags into the back of Jemma's huge truck and took Evie to school. From there Jem drove us the one hour 15 minutes to the international airport and dropped us off.

    Didn't have to wait long before our Virgin flight was called. 737 200 and it was an uneventful 4 hour flight through to Sydney. Read and ate a snack lunch.

    Arrived in a rainy Sydney just after 5.30. In a bit of a rush we were able to collect our bags from the carousel, exit the building and catch the shuttle bus to the international terminal and then walk the length of the exterior of the building to find Bus Bay 10 before our Murray's Coach to Canberra arrived.

    The 3 hour bus trip, in the dark, passed very quickly. The coach was half empty so we spread out. Arrived in Canberra at 9.30 pm and Lara was there to pick us up.

    Back to Roseworthy Crescent for a welcome from Al and Beni. Talked for a while before it was time for everyone to head for bed
