Saying goodbye to Tom

Tom, my travelling companion of two weeks. a family friend, has left Darwin on The Ghan.
So named, says Tim, because Afghan people built it.

Whoever built it it's been a source of conversation and excitement for many a long year.



In temperatures in the low 30c's we stood for a while but decided to leave for Daisy to have her morning nap at home before it pulled out of the station.


You may be able to imagine the length of the thing!


Tom proudly standing for a photo shoot before boarding. He was so excited.


The rest of the day has been spent at home except for a quick flip to the shops to buy my next gadget to review. To also visit the chemist - a warehouse pharmacy!! Up to 50% of some items.
I'm not used to the money, I only know that to imagine the UK £ is roughly half the Australian $ is about right.
Rest time today was about Austin having stories on my bed. I've got to make the most of these precious times.
Dale is reading up what to plant in the garden, bamboo, lavender, rosemary to name a few she'd like
