All good things must come to an end and so it is for our time as caretakers of the Maatsuyker Island Lighthouse. Tomorrow is our last day in this beautiful, and sometimes challenging place, and we are all packed and ready for our next exciting adventure.
We truly had no idea what we were signing up for when we submitted our applications all those months ago. It’s been so much more than we could ever have imagined in the best possible way. It’s been hard at times, for sure, the weather’s been a bitch and the isolation has been tough but we’ve had an experience so few get and we feel incredibly fortunate.
On a personal note, I guess the most important thing is that I’ve found the love of my life, my partner, my better half, my soulmate. I’m a sap, I know. In fairness, Harry is one of a kind and I can’t believe how lucky I am that he was still out there, just waiting for me to stumble onto him and snatch him up.
And so for the last time, we’re signing off with lots of love from the arse end of the Earth!
Catch you all in the Arctic as our adventure continues!
No Going Back
