Well. I didn't want to come home. I whinged and whined about leaving. We all did. Then we drove home in absolutely unbearable heat and got stuck halfway because of a bushfire. As Tom said to me; this country is crazy...floods, drought, cyclones and bushfires all at the same time.
But we had a sensational few days away! Didn't get the boat in the water in the end as we ran out of time (and our friend with the boat had 'boat trouble'; finally got it sorted but we had to head for home so next time).
