Oct. 31 - Nov. 3 - Brisbane

We had a great time in Byron Bay, then returned to Brisbane for the farewell dinner for the University of Queensland program.  The dinner was on Halloween, and we of course had to dress up.  Annie was the infamous Ned Kelley and i was a beleaguered bike rider being attacked by a ferocious magpie.  Here we are in all our glory:

On Friday we found out that we were expected to be out of the apartment on Saturday (as opposed to a week later) so we scrambled around, packed our stuff, and finally left on Sunday morning.  We stored our luggage at a motel where we would spend the last two nights in Brisbane, and headed off to the Blue Mountains for a couple of days.  We were really sad to be ending our stay in Brisbane.  Somehow packing all our stuff and doing everything "for the last time" made us realize just how wonderful our time here had been.
