In less than 30 minutes we sail from Hobart Harbor and after 2 glorious weeks I must say goodbye to Australia. It has definitely been a once in a lifetime time experience, never to be forgotten. I would love to return one day but the rest of the world is also calling. This country is about the wildlife, but so much more. The culture, the ocean vistas, the small amount of the interior landscape (both cultivated and wild) I was able to see, the volcanic plains, the rain forests, the Reef and best of all, the friendliness of its people.....an example of why life is good Down Under. I encourage everyone on this board to think long and hard, but come! You won't regret it for one minute. Thank you OZ for everything.
