We're back in Tennant Creek beginning our return trip back to Melbourne.
We met up with Marsh in Darwin, went for a walk down at the beach with him, then met up again that night for dinner. Oh yeah, he also took us for a tour of the "base". We were surprised to see the rows and rows of large military equipment just lying around with only a city full of military personnel and a tank to protect them. It was kinda cool to see it all (although we were unable to take any photos). We also went to Marsh's dorm, which seems to look much like his room used to when he was sixteen, which was reassuring in a strange kind of way.
It was great to catch up though, Marsh seems really settled in his job, as always we can clearly see how much the army life suits him.
It was a bit sad at the end of the night as we realised that we wouldn't see him again before we headed off to Hungary, so it was a "longer" goodbye than it might have been otherwise. I suspect that there are going to be more of these as our six week deadline for take off approaches.
