Comment by Richard

"We made it! I'm no longer (hopefully!) jinxed by the weather (maybe....). Mackenzie is a lovely kid - unfortunately she now knows what it means when they drive down the airport road and she sees the aircraft - not a happy camper! Still, slept through most of the flight and was happy at the other end - got to be better than a car ride.... Hope they get home ok too."

Comment by Tom

"Well it was a better day than Friday. Little Mackenzie has become upset with the thought of getting into aircraft on the last few flights, but was asleep before we reached cruising altitude and was excited to see her Dad at Orbost. "
