We had to be processed by Australian Immigration today. We were each given a manifest number and I was 1216. We think it was organised by deck, top to bottom. As I wanted to have a go at the Individual Quiz at 10.15 and thought I might have been called during it, I went during the 651 - 800 call. No problems, through in 15 minutes.

The ship seems to be travelling at just over 20 knots and the wakes from both engines seem to be as strong as each other today. The weather is much cooler, only about 20 degrees during the morning. It was quite warm during the deck quoits, however.

We had our final formal night of the sector. The first and last nights of a cruise (or sector) are always casual.

My excursion in Rabaul has had its timings changed, so it looks like an early departure from there. There is a rumour going around, that the call to Brisbane will also be curtailed by a couple of hours. If it's true then it will be quite annoying, as the whole point of a world cruise is to see the world!
