HELLO friends, on the final day of this trip on Stewart Island and Southland. Back here is Invercargill Airport. I've already checked in with my boarding pass and everything. The plane running up to Christchurch is running a little bit late but there will be plenty of time to get through (immigration). It is very cold today. Looking forward to getting home and thawing out a little bit. I wish I could take some of the rain with me but that's not going to happen. I'm going to head back into the terminal and wait for the plane to come in. The first leg is back up to Christchurch and then back across to Brisbane.

Well I've arrived at Christchurch Airport now. It is even colder outside here than it is in Invercargill. But thankfully in about two hours I'll be jumping in another plane back to Brisbane where I can thaw out a bit. So I'll see you back on the other side of the Tasman.

There's the final view of the South Island, the Punakaiki Coast where I'm hoping to visit next time I'm in the South Island. A new great walk opening up there, so definitely keen to try that one out.

We're about a thousand kilometres out from home and all this haze is actually smoke from all the bushfires that are covering much of the country at the moment. Australia is the big smoke at the moment. It looks like it is going to get thicker and thicker as we head back closer into Brisbane.

I'm back now, back in Brisbane, just been through immigration. It was a very smoky trip back in the last hour as you saw in the video. Now I just need to head home and unpack all this stuff.
