Fri 22nd: Darwin - Brisbane
I was really sorry to leave Darwin today. It has been kind to us but I am so aware of the need to limit the time of a visit. Apparently the weather had been hot and wet up until a week prior to our arrival. The reliable dry season ends in September and thereafter it is a place to avoid. Mind you, Perth has been wild and cold since we left. This week has been 1 C. Travelling is so weather dependent.
Our flight to Brisbane was 4 hours with another 45 mins added while we were cleared to land. The airport was a seething maelstrom of disgruntled passengers whose flights had been delayed or cancelled.
This Mantra on Mary is so very different from the Darwin Mantra.  We have a large apartment on the 3 2nd floor in the CBD. The kitchen is larger than mine at home, and we have a separate office. No view though. We seem to be just around the corner from Eat Street and found a Thai place there. We'll explore tomorrow.  I now believe I have been through Brisbane several times but never stayed in the city.
No photos from today.
