"Hey Miss, why don't we run off with their camera..."

We got to the airport about 11am and mum, dad and Kate checked their luggage in. We then had a drink together before the painful goodbye session as they went to enter the departure lounge and we had to leave. I don’t know whether it will ever get any easier to leave people you love, especially after having such a memorable time. The strangest thing was waving goodbye, it felt as though we should be going back to England with them. Thankfully, we had the comfort of knowing that we would be going back to England in eight weeks, so it wasn’t as painful as it might have been. However, after being so close to everyone for all that time, it was very hard to let go.
And then we went our separate ways, mum, dad and Kate boarded the big bird to England, and Andy and I set off on the eight hour journey to Rockhampton where we were hoping to stay that night.
It was an incredible adventure and we all took away unforgettable memories that we will treasure forever.
