Now its time to say...

24 months in the making. 24 hours left on the reel. That's the Melbourne chapter of the Hill whanau chronicles written into the family diary.

Here's our 5 Most Mentionable Melbourne Moments of the blast two years:

5. Receiving the freedom of functionality - Melbourne works - the freeways, sports stadiums, city markets, aquatic facilities, Koorong, shopping centres, playgrounds, beaches - you name it, Melbourne's got it and it works like you want it to - love it, lived it, will miss it.
4. Successive 40+ degree days - least we forget.
3. Knocking the bugger off. We actually did it and grew heaps from it. Believe us when we say it was a mini-mission moving house and family across the ditch for a two-year stint. But we did it and feel that God has greatly blessed us through it.
2. The week in-week out practice of Keelia graceful - culminating in a heart bursting ballet recital that brought more than a tear to the eye.
1. The entry of Nathan Kenzie Roland Hill into our world - a gift from God.

Glen didn't quite achieve his goal of making poverty history (in fact the Global Financial crisis means the world's probably worse off then when he started at World Vision) but I don't think we've reached the end of that story line.

Well that's it. To all our friends in Australia - thanks for being awesome! To all our family and friends in NZ - we miss you lots and will see you soon!
