A day of rain as we left Adelaide. Having the cases meant we kept our expectations low and did very little but write postcards and trundle ourselves to the airport, where we had a superb view of the Adelaide hills from the departure lounge. Although I really relished meeting so many people here, I don’t feel I saw much of Adelaide city centre and would like to get to know it better, perhaps in the warmer weather. Arrived after a 2000-mile flight to Brisbane’s tangible change of climate: if this is winter, I’d never cope with summer here!
