The first of many sunrises expected in the next year greeted us into Australia above Brisbane and what a sunrise it was. The journey from Singapore was an uneventful night flight on a smaller plane with fewer people that lasted approx 6.5 hours..nothing really!
Our new mission once landed, was to make our way to Jindalee, the home of Janice and Paul McCormack, the family of Amber's friend Mel, who had kindly invited us into their home to get settled. We knew the address, we knew the method of transport so off we set on Queensland's new AirTrain - a new monorail/light railway that stretches throughout the state.
So, imagine this. I've left the RNLI, set off for a 12 month adventure, had a few days in Singapore and arrived in Australia. Guess what the first major sign on the AirTrain relates too!
You've got it. Beach safety advice to swim between the flags. I was quite impressed with the immediacy of this message to new arrivals to Australia and thought it would be an excellent result if this was the first thing visitors to the UK saw....come on Steve!!!
After helping direct a Queenslander to her home, yes, you heard right and help her with a bags whilst laden with our own, we arrived in Oxley, near to Jindalee to be picked up by Janice.
Let the adventure begin!
