Comments
This morning began as an overcast gloomy day with an amazing snow shower then some hail and rain and now the sky is blue and the sun is shining. Amazing how quickly everything can change. There is much excitement amongst the passengers as they can see their new home. The bridge is a very popular place as it provides the best view of Macquarie Island and the snow capped peaks. Some passengers will be working on the island for a few weeks and some for longer but regardless how long their stay is they are all looking forward to the experience.
Cheers
Leanne
