We land in Melbourne. Issy bought some souvenirs in Hong Kong which have some small pieces of wood attached to them, so we declare them to the quarantine officers. They ask us whether we've got any seeds or dirt, but they don't even want to look at our bits of wood. I wonder why they ask you to declare "wooden articles" if they're not even interested in looking at them. How do they know they're not infested with some exotic wood worm that's itching to crawl out and kill all our trees.

We arrive home. We must have been away for a long time; Coco's first reaction when he sees me is to bark angrily. Our great adventure is over.
