Well my friend, I have just completed reading the full blog. Amazing doesn’t cover it. You’ve definitely put the tech work in as the story deserves. The family and friends parts are brilliant. No wonder you want to go back as soon as possible.

It was very strange, though, every time I see or hear anything about first nation, Australians, I feel so sad and not a little personal shame. I for one, have no hesitation in saying I am sorry for what happened to 1st nation people in Australia, and in other countries where the Britain Elite abused indigenous peoples and their countries.

Having said that it is good to have you back Richard. You’re amazing Trip has reminded me of a similar trip my wife, Mez and I, took for our 25th wedding anniversary world tour, including spending a month driving round both islands in New Zealand. Wonderful memories! That was 25 years ago.

Looking forward to linking up with you when ever you’ve got time.

Keep well my friend.
Yours Aye
Ian

An absolute joy to read – my morning commute flew by! It’s heartwarming to read your own descriptions of places I remember (Canberra and Great Ocean Road in particular). Not as heartwarming, of course, as the time you spent with your family, old and new, which moved me greatly.

Good to have you back!
