Boxing Day

Cathy used her shopaholic remedy once again this year – she goes to Derby instead and earns money instead of spending it on “bargains” in the Boxing Day sales. We splurged our frequent flyer points on upgrading to Business Class on the flight to Broome – a delightful bonus especially with the birds-eye view of Uluru (Ayers Rock) from 38,000 feet.

We settled into our homely paediatric house in Derby then had an afternoon snooze before dinner with John Boulton and Angela Fisher. We are humbled by the generosity and hospitality of our Derby friends who make this town our home away from home.
