Melbourne For Christmas

We left the Sunshine Coast on Tuesday at about midday and flew to Melbourne. Despite being a two and a half hour flight we arrived at Tullamarine Airport at Melbourne close to 3:30 pm (courtesy of Daylight Saving).


From the airport it was only a 5 minute drive to the home of Chris ("The Lad") and Wendy along with their two children Andrew and Emily. Kate with Charli had driven to the airport to collect us and we took the opportunity to pop in for a visit and dinner. I don't know who slept better afterwards, the grandkids or the grandparents!



We arose Wednesday to a smoky Melbourne. Fierce bushfires to the city's east saw smoke being blown in over the city by the prevailing wind. This wind is expected to change direction on Thursday leaving the city smoke free but enjoying strong northerly winds and a temperature in the mid 30's.
