Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!! My last entry in Oz - what a momentous occasion. I shall try to make it a gem for you, so here goes... WEDNESDAY We woke early today as we had to check out and be ready for our pick up by 7:40am, but we were superbly organized and ran a smooth operation right up to breakfast time.
