Fri, 2nd Dec, 2016 Mum & Dad’s, Cairns, Qld to Ross & Lara’s, Wattle Grove, WA (Cairns Airport history)


Sheets washed and bags packed. A few tears with Mum as we love each other so much.

Picked up Wendy and headed to Central for a last cuppa with Kaylene. The last year has gone fast so it won’t be long till I see them again.

Joined Wendy for lunch with Bev, Cathy and Sandie. Last farewell then back home to make the beds and finish the packing.

Dan called in with my hard-drive full of movies and series to keep us entertained when there is no TV reception. Big hugs and kisses as we said goodbye – I didn’t cry – well only a little tear!!

Cooked the fish Pete dropped off the other day with some potato bake and corn on the cob for our last dinner with Mum and Dad. Finished with sticky date pudding and icecream. Now the dieting starts!!

Jon and Jess popped in for a final kisses and hugs.

Mum and Dad dropped us off at the airport at 8pm with lots of hugs, kisses and tears.

Baggage weight ok and through security ok. Got a coffee to wait to board at 9pm. At 8.45 they announced there was a maintenance issue and we wouldn’t be boarding till 10pm. Rang Mum and Dad laughing that they might have to come back and get us!!! We went for a wander and found some aviation history and photos.















The DC3.




Cairns Airport.




Ironman Competition.


That passed the time for a while then the next announcement that they were still waiting for an engineer to come over from the International Airport to change the tyre on the plane!!!!

Boarded at 10.45 but had to wait to be refuelled as the refueller was held up too. The pilot apologised and explained that there was an issue with a tyre but the engineers were caught up with other maintenance issues on other planes hence the delay.

Taxied down the run way and headed into the sky at 11.30pm.
