Perth to Dubbo

The trip is coming to an end, tonight we’ll be home in our own bed. 7.30am we set Google Maps to T4 Perth airport, drop The Navigator and Wally, then Don & I return the Prado to the car hire return.

The GX Prado has been excellent, averaging under 10 ltr per 100km. Plenty of space, maybe not as much in the back seat as a Kluger but close. Tax invoice says we did 2104 km, no dings detected, which is correct.

The women have the bags tagged when we return, then We get taken as visitors to the Qantas Club for breakfast. It’s been 17 years since I’ve been in  Qantas Club when it was paid for as part of my job. It’s too expensive now for the amount I travel, I think?

We’re told earlier we don’t have the seat between us empty, would have been $70 well invested if it came off. However, the plane is full, not a seat spare, and a lot bring huge carry on cases, don’t get me started on that!

It’s raining and cold in Sydney when we arrive 4 hours later, a few whiskeys in Qantas Club (compliments of the Anderson) fixes that.

Dubbo is freezing,  The Mechanic delivers us home to unpack, for the final time on this trip.

Ciao from Dubbo
