A Fish Conference and a New Niece

Last Saturday I chatted to a couple of American marine scientists who had been in Fremantle, Western Australia for a fish and marine life conference. It was some conference with over 1000 people attending from all over the world. After the conference they spent a week in the south western corner of W.A.

Travelling on QF5 was a Finnish couple who had come here for a family visit. The fellow was travelling on an Australian passport but his wife needed to spend time here to satisfy Australian permanent residency requirements. I also came across a young Finnish guy on Air China who had spent time with relatives in Manly (Sydney) and a couple of nights in the Blue Mountains.

On their way to Beijing was a couple who had come to Oz for a short stay to visit relatives in Port Macquarie and to see their new nephew who had been born just a week before.

I also spoke to a young Canadian guy who worked for a few months and did a campervan trip to the Centre and an Aussie guy who was back to spend time with his wife in Sydney. The Aussie was working in a military job in Kuwait and was travelling on a Turkish passport.

So yet another varied and intersting batch of travellers at Sydney Airport...

Till next time.
