G'day mate,

As soon as we got to Brisbane in the arvo (afternoon), we started to get the van ready to go back as most of the day was gone, so we couldnt have gone to seen anything anyway. It was really strange getting packed up again, especially getting rid of the camper as we had had it for about 6 weeks - We had got attached! Next day we headed into brisbane on the bus, it seemed like a really city, in between Canberra and Sydney, obviously without all the famous sights. We had a look around the city and tried catching up with the blogs, as there are hardly any internet cafes out of the cities with cd-rom drives!

As a toast to our final evening in the camper, we cracked open one of the bottles of bubbly we got from Barossa valley and Han made a beautiful curry for tea. The next day we had to finish getting the camper cleaned out ready to go back to the depot in Brisbane and also to get our stuff ready for the 2 nights we were going to spend in the formulae1 motel. It felt really strange handing the keys back because we felt like it was ours, it was or had been our security blanket for the past 6 weeks! In total we travelled 4425km, starting from Adelaide and finishing in Brisbane! We didnt have one problem with it and it was definately the best way to see OZ!

The next day we went into the city centre but as it was good friday most of the city was closed, so we just went 4 a walk and took it all in! We went down by the lake that runs through the middle and that also had a good view of the citys high rise. It was a really nice city but not alot to see thou! The following morning we were leaving OZ! We couldnt believe where the 6 weeks had gone, and the reality was setting in that it wouldnt be long till we were home. We
