Byron to Adelaide, End of Holiday (30th Sept)

An inevitable travel day starts with a walk and a farewell to the beach. Overcast skies again enhance the feeling of holiday's end.

Sydney Harbour from the air

The downside with finishing my trip in Byron rather than Brisbane is that there's no direct flight to Adelaide. From a small country airport it's a skip over to Sydney before a jump to Adelaide. Virgin airlines are an improvement from Jetstar and for some reason I have extra leg room and food- not a usual occurrence! Serendipitously I'm on the left side of the plane and flying into Sydney from the North gives the fantastic harbour views I missed when originally arriving in Sydney. It's clear and sunny and the famous landmarks stand out over the twinkling blue water. This more than makes up for the annoyance of changing planes. It's an unexpected finale to the East coast.
