So reporting back, all fantastic recommendations, thank you! Plaza in particular.

Think it was before those two, maybe Massey? In any case, wild it's been up that long!

Also, there are only 150 seats to count in Australia (in the House), versus 343 in Canada.
There are also 40 Senate seats to count, but those will take longer to count due to proportional representation. No such counting needed in Canada's appointed Senate.

Also worth noting that, unlike in Canada, that vast majority of people live in the easternmost time zone, so there aren't the ~2ish hours where there's an Atlantic Canada equivalent where polls have closed before everywhere else.
Also, only one-fifth-ish of Aus seats are outside the east coast.

These all sound amazing, thanks Cam!

Thanks Kate! Will miss all of you as well.

If you’ve any suggestions for what to do, see, eat and drink along the way—or even to grab a pint somewhere—drop us a line.

But for now, au revoir, and have a good one.

Starting next Friday, we’re beginning a three-week, all-Canadian drive from Ottawa to Vancouver, via the forests of Northern Ontario, the vast expanse of the prairies, and the majesty of the Rockies.

That’s been the case for our Australian friends and family for a while; now it’s the turn of our Canadian friends for a while.

That said, our stint in Canada is not quite over.

It’s an honour and a privilege to be a dual citizen, but with it comes to bittersweet reality that we will, no matter where we are, be half a world away from half the people we love and cherish.

Next week will be my last at The Hill Times and Hill Times Publishing, an organization I’ve been proud to work for over the last almost-four years.

After six years in Canada, my wife and I are returning to Australia. As I like to put it: we’re leaving home to go home.
