I met a friendly older couple from the US who had just completed a horticulture tour of our East Coast visiting botanic and other public gardens as well as many private gardens. The gentleman was in his 80's and he and his wife had done horticulture tours of many other countries already. Japan and possibly China were next in their sight to explore.
In sharp contrast to the above was a chat I had with a US futures and commodities trader who had been in Sydney to run training courses. It was good to get his persepctive on the current doom and gloom in financial markets.
A group of Contiki tour participants was on a flight home this week to the USA. They had done a trip up the Queensland coast and while they had a pretty good time, it seems it may have been a bit rushed and tried to cover too many stops in the 2 weeks they had here.
Other visitors of note on their way out of the country included a Dutch couple who had seen a lot of our continent, others here for family visits and a couple who did a campervan journey from Townsville to Brisbane.
And of course, as I have struck continually over the last few weeks, yet another couple here to attend a wedding in Sydney. Spring must be the season for weddings.
Till next time.
