And so we find ourselves back in Sydney and a farewell dinner at Will and Morgan’s flat.
We feel a little like we’ve completed a loop in more ways than one. The mutton birds (short-tailed shearwaters) which migrate from Alaska to the south coast of Australia of which we saw casualties of their long flight on the beaches of Eastern Australia but saw their breeding grounds along the Great Ocean Road. On their migration they cover about the same distance that we did (17,000km) We saw the bogon moths (an Aboriginal delicacy) in the tropics and went to where they migrate to breed around mount Bogon in the Victorian Alps.
We feel sad about going home, but we know that there is plenty more to explore in this vast country.
So, that’s all for now folks……
Thank you for allowing us all to share your wonderful journey over the last few months.... I never realised just how beautiful Australia is and how much there is to discover!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home (for now?) I hope you're going to put this all into a book to keep on the shelf at home for future generations to see your adventures!
