Left Port Douglas early, still hot 30°C and extremely humid (79%, I'm not sure what that means. But it makes you sweat). The air conditioning in the shuttle bus and air port was very welcome.
The fight to Syndey was on time, the only slight mishap, was went the passenger in front of Dorothy put her seat back, just as Dorothy had got a drink, which caused the drink to spilled over Dorothy, fortunately it was just a cold water drink.
We arrived OK in Sydney, temperature a little cooler, 24°C and the humidity is 65%, which is more comfortable.
Not a lot to report today, as most of it has been spent travelling, except to say we are planning to meet up with Mark Griffin and Sandra McElhenny tomorrow, we did the Coast to Coast walk together last year. So the plan is to meet up at Circular Quay in the morning for a boat ride. More tomorrow.
I had not realised (until Mark told me on Thursday) that as we came in to land, we actuall flew over Botany Bay. I guess it's changed a lot since the 29 April 1770, when captain James Cook first landing HMS Endeavour on the continent of Australia, after his extensive navigation of New Zealand. Later the British planned Botany Bay as the site for a penal colony.
