In just a short while, Margaret and Murray will be taking us to the airport for our flights home to Iowa. Last night, M&M topped everything off by taking us to a favorite attraction called Outback Spectacular. They are currently doing a show called "High Country Legends." While we were served an excellent steak dinner, the performers acted out a tribute to Australia with emphasis on the outback regions, Australia's relationship with horses, and the many men and women who helped settle this marvelous country. The show was funny, musical, action-filled, full of superb horses and horsemanship, and frequently very moving. We loved it all. Upon entrance, they took posed photographs of each group. Here is ours.
This has been an amazing 51 days of adventure, not least the last three weeks with M&M. They have been marvelous hosts and have been and will always be great friends. Kathie and I are feeling pretty emotional this morning about our departure and about our having to say goodbye (for now) to Australia but most especially to Margaret and Murray. So, with a tip of the hat to them and to all of the truly amazing things we have seen and done, I hereby sign off from Australia. When you return here next, we will be back home.
