Leaving on a Jet Plane

Here I am leaving on a jet plane from Darwin yet again. Embarking on a school cultural tour of Japan with 7 year 9 girls, we were driven the 320km to Darwin on the school bus with the boys going to Sydney for athletics. Then we flew from Darwin to Nhulumbuy (Gove) & thence to Cairns in North Queensland - right across the very top of Australia. Twenty four hours after leaving Katherine we were finally out of Australia and on our way to Japan, armed with yen and great expectations.
