Day 149 - Meeting Mitch

---

We had arranged to meet Mitch and take him from the car rental depot to the airport. He had been very busy on his first Bash, working long days and driving long distances. We had spoken to some of the entrants at Mt Surprise and they were all very pleased with his efforts.

After picking up Mitch we drove out to the airport where it started to rain quite heavily. We got out of the rain and had morning tea after Mitch was checked in. Soon it was time to say goodbye but it was great to see family on this long trip.

We didn't have a plan as to where we would aim for today because of our late departure from Cairns. It rained steadily as we headed south towards Tully (one of the wettest places in Australia). Just a note: Tully receives about 4 metres of rain per annum, the West Coast of Tasmania receives about 3.5 metres of rain.
