‘I love a sunburnt country’: A post-pandemic return to Australia via IrishTimesLife
A bellini appeared after take-off followed by Arabic mezze and sea bream, served on a fancy linen tablecloth. Gazing out my three windows at the snowy Turkish mountains, I realised my career might also need an upgrade, if I am to continue flying in such style.
It was still early and we beat the crowds to the Queen Victoria Market as the abundance of Australia’s food industry was being laid out by stall holders. The bounty of tropical fruits that grows in these climes is astonishing; one of my favourite rituals on holidays here is to bite into a luscious, sun-ripened peach that never tastes as good in the northern hemisphere.
After a few days spent visiting family and friends, we picked up our Avis rental car and the city soon gave way to sweeping plains and long lines of gum trees with their pom-pom foliage. We took a circuitous route via Daylesford, a 19th century spa town in the wooded foothills of the Great Dividing Range.
Dragging ourselves away, some signposts a few kilometres further west led us to London Arch, Loch Ard Gorge, the Grotto and the Gibson Steps. I hadn’t done my research and it turns out that Port Campbell National Park is full of sculptural wonders hewn over thousands of years into the malleable rock of the coastline.
