Hi everyone, Well we have made it to Cairns just! Had a lovely send off last night, the chef came in expecially and cooked us a bbq on the new char grill bbq and we all got to have a last final meal together (bar the new girls, as they had to work) together. Paul was very complimentary about our wor, how we had played our part in the finishing of the project and how we would both be missed.
