Arrival

I can still remember the day.  I was bleary eyed and could hardly place one foot in front of the other.  We arrived on a dark Monday morning in Australia, Melbourne Airport after a very long 24hour flight from the UK.  I remember stepping off the plane, like an astranaut would make his first step on the moon.

Walking on the moon

I then took a deep breath as I tried to take in what Australia was all about.  The sweet smell of  eucalyptus swept over me and I knew then that I would love Australia.  There was so much to learn and appreciate.
