Farewell from Australia

Hi folks. We are currently in Sydney sorting ourselves out for our flight to Tahiti. So this our farewell blog from Australia. We have had the most wondeful time here. Different to New Zealand but no less exciting and interesting.We have seen so much. The diversity of the landscape is amazing. We have driven in the very remote and hot outback where we did feel seriously challenged and have nearly been blown off mountains when it was extremely cold. A country of extremes and yet nearly all the people we have met have always greeted us with 'Hello and how are you today' and we really do believe that they mean it. We have learnt alot about the European Settlers and have tried to understand a little about the Aboriginal peoples.
A truly fascinating country, very young and yet so very old.

So our next blog will be from the Northern Hemisphere. Best wishes to you all

Fogg and Phileas
