3 States, All So Very Different

The time has come to say goodbye to #2. Australia has several states and territories. Sydney in New South Wales; Cairns & Port Douglas in Queensland and Melbourne in Victoria. Australia is the world’s largest island but the smallest continent. It has 6 states and 2 territories. After Marilyn and Barbara extended to Melbourne last trip and so raved about it; I knew I had to get there. So this morning I bid farewell to my lovely 2 bedroom apartment at Sea Temple and fly to trendy Melbourne where the Park Hyatt awaits us. We already know its chilly and probably deserted; they are all here enjoying this fantastic warm weather. Australia… a beautiful country… 88% of their population vaccinated, less than 9,000 deaths.

Congrats to Van Washington, Carol Motte, Phil and Katrina for having now touched all 7 continents and mostly with Kattrax.
