I would have to keep pinching myself to make sure I was really awake and not still dreaming.

I will hug my friends. Go up the elevator I know so well from my youth(!?), and have a drink at the cafe up there.
Outside I will see if they still have the ozzie wildlife in the paddock thingy.
And I will probably cry.

Don't know what will happen after that yet. Probably been driven up to Lower Chittering to relax for a day or two, then after stay at friends houses in central Perth for 2 weeks or so, looking for a rental, buying car(and hopefully starting my new job at UWA, uh hum, dreaming is allowed on this forum...)

kissing the tar-mac
My first ever trip to Oz, we landed in Hobart and they don't have air-bridges, just steps down from the plane, and I did the "kissing the tarmac" bit. When I walked in to the terminal I got some very funny looks, and my friend was just standing there in fits, shaking his head and saying "I don't believe you did that!" Apparently he had been saying to people "its ok, she's just come from Heathrow, 24 hours in the air has gone to her head". Got me noticed anyway!!!!
