Back in Canberra, after a flight in a DHC-8 Dash 8 plane, a small propeller plane carrying a shadow minister, some other passengers including me, but not my luggage. Soon after arriving on the airport my name was heard throughout the arrivals gate, my luggage is still in Melbourne because the airplane was overloaded... Thanks Qantas!

As the photo's hopefully show the trip was absolutely marvelous. From start to end we truly enjoyed it, and I wouldn't want to miss this characteristic part of Australia. On the flight back I have been thinking what was so typically Australian? True this scenery is unique in the world but the French Cote d'Azur also offers splendid views (although the area is much smaller). Maybe it was the friendliness of the people (locals) we met on the way. Always eager to share some good stories or help us on the way. Maybe it were the utes (for the Dutch audience, a ute is a pick up) with "farmers" in it and dogs on the back of the car, no matter whether they were driving on a small country road or the big Melbournian highways. Maybe not knowing how to drive on such big ways (there are only a few big highways around the metropolitan areas) is typical Ozzie, people use all four lanes to drive slowly, nobody seems to care to use the left lane. Talking about driving, I also drove half a lap on the Albert Park road, the streets are used for the F1, pretty nice area!
Most likely all these factors combined make this place such a special one... I even forgot to mention the animals that live over here, roos, Koala’s and Wombats..
But the scenery remains truly amazing!
