A flight back in time. Melbourne and Monmouth all in a day.

Sadly today is our last day in Melbourne.  We are ready to be home but are sad to say our goodbyes.  It has been so much fun with friends and family and such a wonderful experience and treasured memories. I guess I had better get packing and enjoying these last memories. I 💚 AUS
