Family Visits, Marriages to Aussies & A Cooking Show

Plenty of visitors on their way home this week after family visits. They included a Danish woman here to see her daughter who had married an Aussie and an English couple visiting family in the Camden area.

One English woman was here for the wedding of her daughter in Sydney. The wedding reception on Sydney Harbour was actually filmed for an upcoming episode of the Masterchef cooking show. She has another daughter already married to an Aussie and living here so I guess she will be making many more visits 'Down Under'.

I also chatted to an Aussie who has been living in Sri Lanka for over a year and was just home on a short visit to see family in Canberra. There was also a German guy here on business for 2 weeks, a friendly French lady who travelled around the country with a friend and a Canadian backpacker on his way to Rome who had just loved his few months stay in Australia.

I'm often surprised at how adventurous some of our visitors are and their willingness and ability to be able to easily drive cars or campervans around a rather different country to their own. This week I spoke to a young Swiss couple who drove a campervan all the way from Perth to Darwin.

Till next time.
