Last day in Australia

Today was my last day in Australia. With all the meetings behind us, we could enjoy the pleasant sunny day by taking time to walk along the Strand (the long beach area in this photo) and visit the local botanic gardens with their palm trees, parrots and butterflies. It was also time to say goodbye to old friends and new, as the local YWAMers began the first of hundreds of airport runs. As for me, I'll be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning and heading to the airport for our morning flight from Townsville to Brisbane. Then onwards to Singapore and Zürich, before finally flying back to  Spain on Tuesday evening.

Here are a few more wildlife photos from last weekend. Can you tell that the wildlife sanctuary was one of the highlights of my free time during the week?!
