It is now only 5 weeks before we set off on our trip to Australia. We will be leaving England on Wednesday 2nd January and flying via Hong Kong. We will arrive in Perth early Friday morning and will be greeted by family.

Several weeks will be spent in Perth and Busselton staying with Mick's sisters. Mid-February we will be flying to Adelaide to stay with an old school friend of mine.

Then we will be driving to Melbourne along the coast road and staying in Melbourne for 2 nights.

Next we will be flying to Launceston in Tasmania to stay with my uncle. After 3 days there it will be back to Perth for another few weeks.

Home will be via Hong Kong where we will stay 2 days before returning back toChelmsford.

Then retirement commences!
