Monday morning dawned and it was time to pack, say goodbye and catch the train down to Sydney. Rob and Helen took us to Katoomba Station (Medlow Bath is closer but has no ticket office) and we caught the 10:15am to Central Station. We then had a very tight turn around to get our next train out to the airport, drop off our bags (that took for ages) and be ready for boarding our flight to Perth at 1:30pm. We did it with only about 10 minutes to spare but the weather gods were with us and an electrical storm halts all departures for about 20 minutes. This gave us time to grab a sandwich for lunch.
Our flight was just under 5 hours and the time passed quite quickly. We were given a meal and drinks too which we weren't expecting which was good.
Garry and Alison were at the airport to meet us and drive us out the 40km north to their place at Bullsbrook. They have a 5 acre lifestyle block on which they have built a shome (shed come house) that they use at the moment. The intention is to eventually build a new house but at the moment it is a perfect base when they come back from the remote Community for a break. The shed is very comfortable and of course we are very good at living in such places. It even comes with its own 'skippy' or two.
