We imagined our departure from Mt Coot-tha Slaughter Falls to be a great few hours spent under the QLD sunshine, having a lovely spring BBQ with friends, perhaps a game of backyard cricket during the consumption of a few beverages.
One thing we didn't account for - WEATHER. BLOODY WEATHER! We couldn't have picked a better week for the rains to shower upon us. But that wasn't going to stop us. We found a great sheltered area and sent the men off to stand around the BBQ in the cold & miserable rain.
Tom & I had a lovely time and we were really touched by the 30 or so friends willing to endure such crappy weather just to make sure we actually left.
Driving off - we were both silent in disbelief; sad to know we weren't to see our friends for who knows how long and overwhelmed by the fact that we had actually left. For the next however many months, we would pave our own path and create so many exciting memories during our trip of a lifetime. Great success!
