In the morning we get a chance to see a bit more of our beautiful surroundings before continuing our journey to Sydney. On the other side of the river is a wooded reserve, where we go koala hunting. We spot possums and kookaburras (yes, in an old gum tree!) but no koalas as we wander along the river path. There is flooding in the woods and it looks ethereal as with the sun streaming through but we can't go looking there. . Eventually the (silent) cry goes up. A koala has been spotted in the fork of a riverside tree. As we all gather round to take photos, he wakes up, rubs his eyes, stretches, looks nonchalantly down at the crowd below, decides its all too much effort and goes back to sleep again..
We are now on the last leg to Sydney and we are all keen to reach our final destination and start a new chapter. We even forego the opportunity to drive through the nation's capital (Canberra!), as it will add another 3hrs to our journey.
It seems like only yesterday we were gathering at the Embankment in London, nervously introducing ourselves to a bunch of strangers with whom we would get very intimate in the coming months. We have travelled through 17 countries and 3 continents, completed more than 25000 kms together, seen the sun rising and setting in the most beautiful locations in the world and soon it will be time to say goodbye and move on to the next chapter in our lives. We drive into Sydney and pull up at Mrs MacQuarie's Chair for a final group photo with Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House in the background before making our way to the city centre where we will split up and go our separate ways.
