Made It!

We made it, safe and sound. The flight was long, but the service on QANTAS was unbelievable, reminding us of what air travel used to be. The flight crew was friendly and efficient, the seats were comfortable, the entertainment system amazing (over 60 movies and 15 TV shows) and the food was good.

The jet lag is a killer - on our second day our internal clocks were so screwed up that we didn't know if it was Tuesday at 3AM or Saturday lunchtime. It was very disorienting.

Our apartment is small, but quite nice, and within walking distance of the town center. Parrots and Cockatiels are everywhere, and we walked up to a mob of wild kangaroos in a nearby park.
