Day 37 Friday 15 May Farrer

Our final day of the trip has arrived.

Took Beni for a walk on the Farrer Ridge.

Breakfast with the family before saying goodbye to Al and walking the boys to school.

Slowly packed the car and eventually left Lara at about 10.30.

Pushed through Queanbeyan and Bungendore before stopping for a drink in Braidwood. Then it was down the mountain to Batemans Bay before turning north on the Princes Highway and eventually home in Narrawallee.

And it was sad that such a great holiday had come to an end - but good to be home at last.

On reflection, everything had worked. The friendship with old friends, the Hendersons and the Whites, was even stronger. The feeling among the tour group was very positive and they had loved what we were able to share with them. We had seen some incredible wildlife and natural phenomenon. All our transport - car, light rail, ferry, airlines and small plane charter flights - had been reliable and on time.

We couldn't have asked for more. What a holiday!Read more
