Day 7 March 1- Brisbane rellies
After a night in swag at Pip and Andy’s place on the decking we were greeted by 3 kookaburras on the fence. They were probably wondering what the heck we were up to.

First Flight-day 1. Leaving home
We were finally ready to leave at 1:30pm. This was mainly due to my lack of packing preparation and some extra socialising that we added in the last couple of days.
