Home!

Being back in Adelaide is a relief.

It is so great to get in the car and know where we are going, and not to have to battle traffic.
Nothing like going away to help me appreciate what I usually take for granted.

This is the last of the latest travel blog, and with only one day left in Blaugust the posts might become less regular.. just warning you all early.

Today we checked out from our unit , said goodbye to the vicious swooping  bird (still guarding his nest) , and headed towards Brisbane to fly home.

On the way up the highway we noted a load of caches showing up on the map at Mt Gravatt,  and decided to detour from the main road and soak in  just a little more bush before we hit the navigation challenge of getting to the airport without paying tolls.

We searched out a number of excellent caches in thebush .

and took in the excellent views of the city from the top of the mountain.

On the way back down the mountain we stopped for one last cache and came across an orienteering control in the bush. Looks like the local high school have the right idea.

I managed to navigate us past the new HSS office at Wooloongabba so that Trev could peer in the windows and picture it when I talk about it. 

As we boarded the flight home I couldn't help but notice the wall paper on the wall nearby and think that I know people that might like to use some of this.

As we flew in over the new Adelaide Oval I couldn't help but admire our beautiful city and feel glad to be home where I belong in SA again.
