Day 6 - and we say Adios to New Zealand and G'day to Australia!
On our way to the airport today we stopped in Mata Mata for a Hobbiton visit. It's quite rainy today in NZ, so umbrellas were a must. We spent about 4 hrs on the bus, sadly said good-bye to our great driver, Keith, and hopped on a plane across the ditch to Brisbane, Australia. The sunset as we landed was gorgeous! After clearing the questions at customs, we hopped on the bus with our new driver, Troy, and headed north an hour to our overnight hotel. It's a gorgeous place along a lake...or so I'm told since it gets dark here quite early. The sun comes up about 7 am and goes down 5:30ish, so we must be efficient with our day light.
Tomorrow we're heading up to Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island, where we will spend 2 nights, as well as do a 4wheel excursion around the island. Super excited as it's one of my most favorite places in Australia.
Sorry no pics today as the Wi-Fi is suuuuper expensive at this hotel, so I'm using the lobby computers and can't load pics. Hope to have some at the next place.
G'Day!
