The turbulance was bad, but fortunately subsided once we'd passed the mountains along the west coast of NZ which unsurprisingly full of cloud - we were glad too. When we arrived at the airport in Melbourne, we arrived not to blue sunny skies, but thick smoke caused from the many bush fires around the city. We stayed at the Formule 1 airport hotel, so that we could fetch our next campervan in the morning.
