This last weekend there were quite a few Kiwis (New Zealanders) heading home after short visits here. Most were here for family visits or to enjoy the New Year celebrations and fireworks in Sydney. Travelling across the Tasman between Australia and New Year is almost like a domestic flight for Aussies and Kiwis except that you need a passport.
I met a fascinating German guy heading home on Singapore Airlines who was here with his girlfriend on his 13th visit to Australia!! He had done a lot of travel through other countries but Australia was his favourite. And on this trip he traversed a large section of the southern half of our country -not just the big cities. I'm sure he has been to many Aussie places that I've never heard of, let alone been to! His stay this time was only 4 weeks but he was already planning the next Aussie expedition in 2010 which will be for 6 months.
Also heading off after New Year was a Dutch woman and her partner who had been driving and camping all over the countryside and a Swedish woman and her teenage son who had spent time in Sydney and Port Douglas.
I'd love to hear your comments and any airport stories you may have.
Till next week.
