We flew into Brisbane early this morning. The sunrise from my window was stunning. Thank you Finnair and Qantas for excellent flights.
I am happy to be back in Australia for a few months. Winter in Brisbane is glorious. After a cool start the day warmed up to about 22 degrees with blue sky and sunshine.
Hi Deb!! Good to hear you’re safe home! I look forward to seeing you soon after you’ve settled back into the Brissy groove!!! Jxx

Welcome back to Briz. I have returned to Briz after caring for my eldest Asperger and OCD son in Newcastle for the past 4 yrs. It is so good to be home again.

Am I correct in thinking you rarely return to Australia this early in the year?

That first photo looks exactly like what I saw from the plane during my flight from Jakarta to Sydney last October. When I woke up and looked out of the window I was so amazed by the redness of the Outback. Ahh, I miss Australia.

Debra, I wish I had your photogrpahs in 1973, when returning home after 20 years away, I wrote: “To observe a sunrise from the passenger seat of any international flight is an exhilarating experince, but to see my first Australian sunrise in many years was unique. First a rosy pink blush appeared, which quickly transformed through burnt orange into the brilliant golden burst of the sun itself as it rose above the horizon. I had goose pimples,my eyes moisened and my thoughts became quite jumbled with emotion” – thanks and welcome home Kevin Palmer – Bangalow quote from “Boys’ Home to Broadway”.
