The final pitstop before heading back to Sydney was Hamilton Island for Dave and Jeri's wedding. Such a beautiful place, it was a shame we couldn't stay longer. Hamilton Island is pure paradise, we spent two and a half lazy days in a gorgeous hotel room with a view of palm trees and beaches. The wedding was lovely, and the reception was held on a boat that sailed around the Whitsundays for four or five hours - we couldn't have had a better time. The months that followed back in Sydney were tough - finding an apartment in the ridiculously competitive rental market, and looking for work at the same time, both hard to get without the other. Nevertheless, I will always remember our little island escape as a perfect ending to an amazing year away.
