18.01.2022 Big shout out to SkyDrive Transfers !! Last week the kids and I returned from a short trip to Darwin . Our flight was due to land at 11pm . We were slightly delayed by the weather - then further delayed with all the Covid19 border control checks .... We flew into Brisbane which is just over an hour's drive from home on the Bruce Highway . We'd had a long day - it was dark and raining . I have never been more grateful for a transfer in my life. Tony was patiently waiting for us at the baggage carousel - got us home safe and sound in his lovely and spacious vehicle - and even carried our bags to the front door in the rain. Thanks Tony !! I'll be booking your services for as many clients as possible. Such a great way to finish a trip.
